1. Totally Amazes Me...

on why these machines are even still considered to be a norm for the political process! :eyes:

[spin]

2. We need an independent group of computer experts

to certify the security of any electronic voting machine. A paper trail should also be a requirement. Any election should have random checks preformed on the results to insure accuracy.

Election fraud has always been a problem. Electronic voting machines were supposed to eliminate this problem, instead it's quite possible they may have made the art of stealing elections much easier and far more efficient.

If people lose faith in the election process because they believe "The fix is in", our country is in real danger.
