I'm not sure what they mean by a paper trail but if it's just a continuous tabulation, how do you erase an erroneous vote. Go back to the old "fill in the dot" with a number 2 pencil. It's easier and produces the best result.

Electronic voting systems flawed, expert says

I tell you I'm shocked, just shocked!!

We want systems that are secure but also accessible to people with disabilities

Especially dead people, excuse me, people suffering post-terminal disabilities.

As an expert on experts I offer my expert opinion that everything experts say is crap.

It wouldn't be that hard to add a dual printout (like cash registers have had for a century), one for the voter to hold onto, one that rolls up in the machine. I'm sure that it costs less money and requires less maintenance not to add a printer, but I'm surprised that no-one demanded it before all these agencies went out and blew their wads.

A computer science expert criticized electronic voting systems planned for the November election as highly vulnerable and flawed...

No sh** Sherlock. I have a 7 year old nephew who already knew that!

You know the various reports about the insecurity of electronic voting machines worries me too...but the fact the Democrats are screaming about it gives me pause.

The same people that think requiring ID, as an absolute minimal requirement, to prove you are a indeed an eligible voter, think that this system could be abused huh?

So I see two possibilities.

The first option is that they are engaged in projection. The Dems know they can alter most of the current systems in their urban strong holds as they did in Florida in y2k. So they figure the more technologically savvy Reps can and will do the same back to them with this system.

The second option is that the system proposed, for all its flaws, is harder to hack then the currently used systems. We *know* the Dems can and do fool around with things as they are, perhaps they've yet to figure out how to do so to the proposed e-voting systems - at least without leaving a traceable sign the vote has been tampered with.

A 60 year old retiree in Florida can easily "lose" a Bush ballot here or there or "accidentally" create a hanging chad during a recount. Do you think this same person can hack a computer system???
