OP/ED: Don't trust computer voting machines, verify ballots : The Morning Call Online


Ask youself this simple question:

Would you do business with a bank that never gave you a piece of paper showing your balance?

If your vote really less important than your money?

If the answer to that question is, yes...well, just move to a totalatarian state and be done with it.

Or, simply stay here and do nothing.

OP/ED: Don't trust computer voting machines, verify ballots : The Morning Call Online:

"On Primary Election day, I voted in Lehigh County on one of the new ''touch-screen'' electronic voting machines. I immediately felt that I might as well have cast my vote in the sewer. They contain a glaring flaw that must be corrected before they are used in the general election in November.

The old lever-type machines were easy to understand. They were simple mechanical counters where you could verify your vote before you pull the master lever to close the booth; and they could be checked out by a polling-place staff with minimum education. Those machines could be trusted."
