I don't know why some Freepers are discounting this story. There are reams of documentation proving that the electronic voting machines suck. This (should be) is just another nail in the coffin.
This is one area where the average right-wing citizen can find common ground with the average left-wing citizen. I believe the average joe-in-the-street, left or right, wants a fair vote. Average joes on both sides of the aisle should band together and demand voting machines that can't be hacked. Everyone wins.
There are many conservatives who wouldn't believe a Democrat if he claimed that water was wet and the sky blue.
Identity politics. Divide and conquer.
Fun, huh?
Because it's a false argument for them.
Dems have been manipulating paper balloting for years. Chicago, Baltimore and Philly come to mind. After their temper tantrum in 2000, they demanded touchscreens so their stupid voters in South Florida could vote without choosing Pat Buchanan.
Now they complain that touchscreens aren't good enough. Of course this is just a smokescreen so all of the Dimwit Cynthia McKinneys out there have something to jump up and down whine about when they lose.
The funny thing is all of this "proof" that touchscreens suck always boils down to (lack of) physical security: the same damn reason paper ballots suck.
