Calls Electronic Voting Machines Unreliable

Nov 2, 2006

Congressman Kucinich contributed to PBS's Newshour segment about electronic voting Wednesday.

"There is such a powerful awareness among the American people about this question of the deficiencies in the technology that it has actually undermined confidence in the election process," Kucinich said.

"It's not failsafe. If somebody can show me you could have an election with a 100-percent assurance, that there's no vulnerabilities to attack, there's no vulnerabilities in the software, that the software works like a dream and the hardware's perfect, people can show that, then, yes, I'm ready to hear what they have to say. But until that time, look, there's plenty of reasons to be concerned."
