""The evidence presented indicates that electronic voting in its current form is systematically flawed and will require significant corrective measures to remedy the problems that have been exposed...""
OK, put back paper ballots and claim this election is null and void and let's do it again in a few weeks.
You are quite right that no election involving paperless electronics should be considered valid.
Americans can handle the work of casting and counting votes for ourselves. We don't need the communist Chinese to do that for us.
So, three agenda-driven organizations could find 3.25 complaints from a cherry-picked sample of counties?
I would consider that experience a great success, considering there have got to be 3.25 chronic complainers, anti-machine activists and contrarians in every American county.
What about the tens of thousands who had no complaints?
The statement, "electronic voting in its current form is systematically flawed," is just a bald-faced lie.
People who can't figure out how to vote shouldn't vote anyway.
"So, three agenda-driven organizations could find 3.25 complaints from a cherry-picked sample of counties?"
Actually, that seems to be a non sequitur. The conclusions that electronic 'voting' can't be sufficiently secure to provide valid elections, in contrast, remain.
Why would you consider totally non-auditable 'vote' counts from systems known to lose, switch, and fake votes, to be a 'success'? Voters had to stand around waiting, too, because the machines are unreliable. Some voters had to leave without voting. Is that what you consider good for Americans? One can't help but wonder why.
You mention those who didn't complain, but some people aren't willing or able to raise a fuss in public.
If you have any expertise in the 'bald-faced lie' department, it may only be in the production of such, if you attempt to claim that mystery boxes running mystery software operated by mystery individuals would constitute valid vote-counting.
Everyone gets a second chance to cast their vote!
Sounds good to me!
Are you saying that you don't see how the fact that critical failures cause Americans to lose their right to vote would lead to the conclusion that methods which don't involve those critical failures would be preferable in the USA?
You said something about being unable to figure out how to vote. Using the electronics is tantamount to letting others you don't know vote for you, and not necessarily in accordance with your preferences. Do you feel that you can't cast a vote yourself by putting marks on a physical ballot, such that you want communist Chinese building secret computers programmed and operated in secrecy to take over that job for you? Even the disabled can use ballot markers to create and confirm their own ballots, and they don't need any unknown people to do that for them.
I agree totally. Cancel all electronic elections and do them over, by hand, out in public, with actual ballots.
THat's a lot of words to say nothing.
Until the overlords at Davos, Switzerland instruct the media outlets that this is news--it ain't!! :
I am very pessimistic about the future of fair elections in our country. I have questions about whether my vote counted in the 2006 elections. Supposedly, the method was an optical scanner. In 2004 we inserted it into the scanner, in 2006, they were thrown in a box because the polling place claimed they had not been hooked up yet
This electronic method just seems like it will make it too easy to tamper with the outcome prior to the elections. There seems to be every measure possible used(mostly by RATS)to skew and confuse the election results.
Damn! So that's why the Dims won!
To what do you refer?
Just because Democrat election fraud has been a problem all along doesn't mean we shouldn't confront it now.

Hear, Hear! Those scanners are incredibly easy to manipulate.
Cheating isn't really winning.
The corrupt Democrats subverting elections are traitors.
