"The guys on the usnet "comp.risks" have been complaining about these machines for years. They think the Republicans are pushing electronic machines in order to steal votes."

As a PhD in Comp Sci, and one who has looked at election fraud, I see the risks. They existed in older technology, and they exist here (in different forms in different technologies).

But only leftwing anti-GOP hate-mongers think there is some kind of conspiracy about these machines tied to fraud. As usual, the lefties make an allegation without checking the record. If you recall, it was the *Democrats* demanding we replace all the voting machines because they couldnt operate butterfly ballots. The Democrats demanded we spend millions to update voting machines. They supported and voted for it. The Republicans went along with it but only because if they opposed it, the democrat would have a hue and cry about Florida 2000 all over again.

Now these new machines that the Democrats demanded are a Republican conspiracy? Feh!
