Excellent! They have hackers manipulating the machines in Maryland, as a test. They successfully hacked everything.

Now manufacuturers are claiming they can fix these problems.

2. Not good enough...

It was all about outside hackers. I'm far more concerned about willful, deliberate election fraud inside the companies that make the machines and write the software that drives them. Why doesn't anybody ever bring that up? I want to see somebody get in their face and tell them, "Listen, FORGET already about outside hackers! My objection to these $#%@%#^% machines is that I DON'T TRUST DIEBOLD AND SEQUOIA AND ES&S TO COUNT MY VOTE FAIRLY, ACCURATELY AND HONESTLY! In other words, I DON'T TRUST YOU A**HOLES NOT TO CHEAT!"

Why doesn't anybody ever TELL these people that?

P.S. -- In the Feb. 3 primary here in Missouri, I'm going to vote on a paper ballot, but it's unsure right now as to whether they're going to have electronic paperless touchscreen machines in place in November. HOWEVER, when I walk into that voting booth in November and there's one of those accursed electronic Trojan Horses, can I refuse to use it? Can I walk up to a poll worker and say, "Listen, I refuse to vote on that #%$@Q# thing. I don't TRUST it or the companies that make it and write its software to count my vote fairly, honestly and accurately. Therefore, I DEMAND a paper ballot. GIVE ME A PAPER BALLOT, please, to cast my vote on." Can I say that and get a paper ballot?
