Voting machines security is much larger than the firmware running on it. What I seen as a good measure is to vote on the screen, get a printout,and then deposit that printout into a scanner. This way you have a paper trail and easy count.

I agree with you. It is too bad the system doesn’t work that way and that we don’t have access to the firmware on these machines.

Look the biggest draw back that electronic voting machine have is that it is impossible to cheat and change the results. A computer will give the same numbers no matter how many times you recount.

Now voting machines should not be available for hacking and that is pretty easy to do. For example, there would be no need for a computerized voting machine to be connected to the internet.

you are all scared of them because the Democrats will not allow them because of the endless recount issue no longer working for them. The media are alarmists.

Computers are the real answer for fair elections. I can envision a day when you go to your polling place to vote (showing proper ID of course). The computer will know if you are entitled to vote there. We probably will want to employee facial recognition so that I know you are really who you say you are, or perhaps DNA sampling would be better.

Yes computers are the answer. I would even volunteer to program them.
