I was thinking the other day about Bush-gore 2000, and that the worst side effect was the push for electronic voting machines. I don’t trust their security and lack of hard audit trail. Hanging chads are nothing in comparison. What is so bad about the “fill in between the arrows” ballots that are read optically?
I don’t trust any voting system that doesn’t have a hard copy of the ballot the voter cast that is retained. We do have that for now in my county but I believe they are about to replace it.
