Shoot. Get the pols out of it. Let us vote at our ATM machines. I trust the banking system better than any one day makeshift operation staffed by old volunteers. It is already regulated, audited and running smoothly.

I keep reading about voting problems at these machines.

A polling place gets an average of 8 machines from what I can tell. Someone would have to either attack the machines before they are installed, or change the data after the votes are accumulated.

The machines aren't on a network so they cannot be hacked. No one is sending out thousands of hackers to break in to a secure location, open the machine, change the information and get out.

So the only scenario is the program that gets pre loaded is corrupted, which again, you have candidates, issues and other things to be concerned about.

Unless there is a major conspiracy which involves hundreds of people, I am afraid that this whole voting machine manipulation is a myth.
