Question about electronic vote's,

[Sgt. Peppers]

What if the system crash's? Would that give Bush the power to stay in office till a new election were held?

1. Uh, no....

There is ALWAYS pen and paper, you know.

6. They should have paper ballots available just in case.....

The computers don't work.

I'm of the school that all voting should be paper ballots. I don't trust computers. I don't trust the media to report the right results either.

Get involved to make sure you vote counts otherwise elections are a waste of time.

2. THE system?

There are many systems in place. You'd have to check with your county elections supervisor to find out what happens in that event.

3. Being that it is a new system, I figured they could pull something

I have learned to never underestimate the republican's.

4. Patriot delay possible

Under the Patriot Act, the president has the right to delay national elections indefinately if there is "any perceived threat to national security".

Since e-voting is relatively new, there are no specific rules regulating a systems failure. I know that in my county, there are no back up paper ballots to use if say we had a blackout. We are 100% electronic now.......

5. I think I will visit my county recorders office.

Could not hurt could it :)
