<p>You believe these voting machines are not secure. You believe this is widespread and extremely easy to hack. Will YOU be skeptical of the results of the next election. In the even democrats win will YOU throw off posts left and right about possible rigged machines and how that could have thrown off results? What about if republicans win?</p>
<p>The problem is that results can be rigged. I will support every candidate for state legislature, governor, and secretary of state who supports having an auditable paper trail and oppose those who don’t. Oddly enough, this breaks down along party lines. What are Republicans so afraid of?</p>
<p>i believe because it is true, why is that so hard to believe, that the machines can be rigged? Yeah, why do Republicans fight a paper trail when a paper tril is very easy to create</p>
<p>
Because I’m an engineer (EE and CS) who knows the development process. The ‘bugs’ you describe are very very basic which is why I find it difficult to believe that any production system is quite as easy to manipulate as you describe. I’d be a bit more inclined to believe the bugs were found in beta testing and even more inclined to believe they could have been found in engineering or security testing. If bugs as severe and basic as you describe made it to the polling locations, I think the developers and testers should be fired, the units returned for refund, and the the purchasers of the units should not purchase from that company again. This is what would drive the systems to be accurate.</p>
<p>I still fail to see how this issue is a partisan one. It’s in the best interests of all parties to have an accurate voting method.</p>

<p>MAN: “there was no names on the ballot - how can I vote?”</p>
<p>OFFICIAL: “Comrade, haven’t you heard of the secret ballot”?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Agreed. So please explain why Republicans have been fighting requirements for auditable paper trails tooth and nail? </p>
<p>This is issue is why I think electing Debra Bowen as secretary of state is the most important office on the ballot.</p>

<p>eh, what do you think CGM</p>
<p>I didn’t see the HBO special, but I did see “Man of the Year” last night. Same theme, and seriously - I am concerned.</p>
<p>I tried to watch the HBO documentary, but I every time I entered the channel number, I ended up at Fox News.</p>
