I don't trust all of the machines. Here in Harris County, TX we use an electronic voting machine that records each vote in 3 separate computers with sealed memories. In order to mess with the votes, you would have to break the seals on 3 computers and change all 3 in identical ways. In addition, our county is now run by Republicans. But in dim territory, I EXPECT MASSIVE FRAUD IN EVERY ELECTION. Note my posts where I have witnessed and documented successful fraud.

Unless it IS THE POLL WORKER DOING THE BEEPING!

or if a democrat you know votes, then BEEP BEEP!

Is this button a "hanging button" in any way, as in, "hanging chad"?

I think the article misses the main point entirely, by emphasizing that the machine makes a noise and alerts the poll workers that an individual is pushing a button.

Specifically, "quis custodiet custodes?" ("who will guard the guards?" in Latin) What if the pollworkers themselves are the ones interested in performing vote fraud? The machine can make all the noise it wants.
