machines?

I wasn't convinced that they tampered with the vote at first, but the more I thought about it, the less I trust them. The question everyone should be asking, whether they believe in vote fraud or not, is whether these goddamn companies can prove that their machines cannot be hacked, or have a back door to switch votes, or even count accurately. If they cannot, it's a pretty damn safe bet that they are being used for voting fraud.

I had to vote that way in the last election, and I might as well have written my vote on a piece of paper and threw it in the memory hole. No paper trail? Come on, that's insane!

These vote eating machines are a direct attack on the principles of our democracy. What will it take to get people informed about this? The media certainly won't touch the issue in any serious manner...

1. I do not trust the opti-scan thing we have and it does have a paper trail
God only knows how many "spoiled" ballots, "accidents," and tampering have happened even in a county like Leon, blue and with a widely-respected director of elections.

2. You would think that voting could be made much more simple
Hey, maybe we should look at the counties with the least amount of fraud or errors and copy them!

Nah... let's just buy some more voteeaters and let the diebold technicians worry about it.
