1. Why no paper trail?
I mean, just that fact alone... just the fact that the makers of these machines are so adamantly opposed to paper-trailing... it tells me everything I need to know about the "reliability" of e-voting. :grr:

2. What do you mean "Hope they can crack the systems"
Bev Harris had some thing on her web site how when they ran test some hackers were inside the system in 5 minutes

Again in the Philippines when they were about to use the same systems they ran hacking test at government level and had the same results. That is why just months before the last election there they scrapped the entire E voting system and sued the shit out of the companies responcible.

This E-voting scam has been kicked out of 1/2 the counties that even consider it. America is behind the curve of waking up to this obvious scam
