If you don't realize that the electronics are unreliable, vulnerable, needlessly complex, exhorbitantly expensive, inconvenient for the voters, unauditable, and, as the General Accounting Office of the United Stats Congress has noted in an official report, unsuitable for use in elections, you need to consider the subject more carefully. If you imagine that previous election manipulations would justify additional ones, or even those which are significantly worse, you aren't doing your duty as a citizen. Your haste in launching invective toward others whom you don't really know seems paranoid, especially when you substitute it for understanding of the issue being discussed. Should you really fear and despise so many Americans just because you don't agree with them even on totally unrelated issues? Would you insist that the earth must be flat in the event that anyone you could imagine would be from a faction separate from your own says it is spherical?

As is paper.

vulnerable

as is paper

needlessly complex

To a computing-illiterate moron perhaps.

exhorbitantly expensive

They're cheaper.

inconvenient for the voters

Inconevenient only to imbeciles - convenient for people who know what a PC is.

unauditable

LOL! They're more auditable than paper.

You're going to have to cite this preposterous claim.

Would you insist that the earth must be flat in the event that anyone you could imagine would be from a faction separate from your own says it is spherical?

You've lost all coherence - which was a shaky area for you from the get-go.
