"Maybe they know that these freaking idiots in Florida are scummy Communists who will be unhappy with any voting result."
NO, I'm more inclined to think that after this guy decided to show how the voting machines could tampered with, none of the companies involved wanted to end up in court when the election was over. Regardless of how much of a weasel he is, the truth is that these machines need to be kicking out hard copies of each vote in triplicate - one for the voter, one for the election board, and one as a back-up. Election fraud is still a bomb with a short fuse on it every other November; we are America - we've got to get this thing right.
It would open the door to union stewards, as just one example, demanding a copy of who their 'people' voted for.
A person's vote will ALWAYS remain between him and God (and anyone else he choses to tell.)
Hard copies of votes cast create FAR more problems than solutions...
You forgot one copy for the democrat operative who paid for the vote.
