[Mr. Jeeves]

The electronic systems aren't the real problem. A good article in Computerworld magazine recently explained that in Florida, poll workers were permitted to keep the Diebold machines at their houses for several days prior to the election, and Florida officials didn't see anything wrong with that. It's the parochial mindset that leads to fraud opportunities.

Most vote fraud happens the old fashioned way - corrupt (usually Democrat) officials adding false ballots for their own side or tossing out valid ballots for the other side during the counting process. In my county, absentee ballot envelopes display party registration on the outside - pretty easy to just dump a pile of "REP" envelopes into a nearby shredder.
