I guess I am surrendering on the voting machines
As long as there is a clearly marked paper ballot that can be reviewed by an actual human being I don't really care by what means the paper is marked. Whether a machine does it or me with a pencil. The key is the Paper Ballot that is clearly marked so a human can read it. All I ask is that the election be verifiable and having an actual piece of paper clearly marked so I can acknowledge that my votes were cast as I wished and stored in case they need to be recounted by humans makes it that way. Anyway the largest producer of the voting machines is Sequoia and it is a Venezuelan Company, which does not have the reputation of being Republican. Then again maybe I am just following Republican advice that if you are going to be raped just relax and enjoy it..:shrug:
