The presidential election race is in high gear. The bad thing is that many U.S.A. states have found very severe flaws in the accuracy and security of their Diebold, Sequoia and other types of electronic voting machines.
Pennsylvania voters have actually sought an injunction to block the states purchase of electronic touch screen voting systems, because “voting systems do not create a permanent physical record of each vote and are not capable of a meaningful audit”.
In some states officials are going back to the paper ballots abandoned after the 2000 and 2004 Florida and Ohio Stolen Elections. Some poll workers and other convicted state officials are already serving terms for Election Fraud. Besides President Bush and Vice President Cheney there are most likely dozens hundreds of unelected public officials serving terms of office, as if they were properly elected. Just another Republican scandal played out against the unsuspecting American people.
And the fraud goes on: The states of Colorado, California, Ohio and Florida have found that the security that comes with touch screen voting systems is insufficient and poorly designed. A person who wanted to could disable the system and change vote totals. It has been stated that widely used voting equipment is not fit for elections.
“Every system that is out there, one state or another has found that they are no good,” said John Gideon of the advocacy group Voters Unite. “Everybody is starting to look at this now and starting to realize that there is something wrong.”
Voter-marked paper ballots which are optically scanned and manually re-countable provide an acceptably secure alternative, provided an effective audit is performed after the election,” Lopresti said.
“We shouldn’t be forced to trust unknown programmers or anyone else who might have access to the machines. With paper ballots, we can verify the results. Without paper, it’s faith-based voting,” Says Alan Brau, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit and a resident of Northampton County.
The propaganda machines want you to believe your vote counts, but there’s a conspiracy to steal your vote. The elections are rigged. And you wonder why I don’t vote. Big Brother would just steal my vote and decide for me anyways.

I remembered in Philippines the same problem arose few years back when congressmen started to argue that elections should be electronic for efficiency and accuracy purposes.. Well, all i can say is, aside from the kickbacks in buying those programs or softwares and hardwares, they know that they can always go around the system…well, as you stated up there, it could not be audited… so evidence will not be provided, in case some one protests… indeed has flaws.
The elections are rigged. And you wonder why I don’t vote.
You get no sympathy from me. After 14 ballot boxes ended up in San Francisco bay after our election in 2002, I’ve taken to carrying my digital camera with me into the voting booth (we use optical scan machines). I fill out each page of my ballot and then photograph them. Pisses off the election officials no end, but if something goes wrong I can go to City Hall and demand that they show me that my vote counted, with the proof to back it up.
Kvatch: I don’t see how it would be of much use to photograph the vote. :hmm: Because: In a contested battle, if there is a need for an official recount, what are they going to do? Everyone in the district brings in their cameras, one camera at a time?
That’s highly impractical, and illogical. :nerd: We need a paper trail. Touch screens don’t leave a paper trail. Without the proof of the paper trail, there will never be any security or accuracy.
Wow.. is it that bad in the united states that they would go through such unsportsmanlike conduct to do these things…
Yep, have you seen the web headlines the last couple of days? It’s already happening, peple are reporting that when they press the button to vote for Obama, that the machine shows a vote for McCain…it’s just like the Simpsons!!
I agree with you. Manually process cannot be avoided
