Why the rush to touch-screen? Machine-readable paper ballots are just as fast and leave a better audit trail. They work well for local elections here in Toronto, but don't get me started on the clowns they declare as winners...
Don't you remember? Touch Screen voting machines were demanded for by the Democrats after Florida. They said it was Racist not to have the latest technology in those districts. But, isn't difficult to hack into a Stand Alone Machine that is not on a network?
That's precisely the problem with them. It's harder to "fix" elections with paper ballots.
In my county, we recently switched from paper to touch-screen. We get a paper printout of who we voted for, but election officials/monitors don't keep a copy. There is absolutely NO papertrail.
