Do you suppose the corrupt Democrats will avoid using some scam technique because of anyone else having used it?

A lot of people were sorry to see the levers go.

People tend to be pretty good, for the most part, at filling in paper forms.

That is not what I asked. I asked you if those were the "corrupt democrats" in your link.

Are they?

What would cause you to believe that?

So lifelong_republican, you apparently spend your days scouring the Internet for any article related to electronic voting so you can post it here. You must be running out of material to post articles about gambling machines. Tell me, are the machines out to get us?

Please clarify your question.

I am pointing out that 'voting' machines don't undergo the same scrutiny that slot machines get.

The problems with the electronic 'voting' machines include outright failure preventing anyone from voting, lost votes, switched votes, and faked votes.

Do you believe that corrupt Democrats won't take advantage of the ease and concealment of tampering with elections via the electronics?

Why would you imagine that I'd be the subject here?

Don't you feel that you can cast your vote for yourself?

Do you believe you'd know more about computers than the IT and security experts who have been pointing out the problems with electronic voting machines?

Was it not a "corrupt democrat" who wrote your link in post #1?

I liked the old style mechanical slot machines.

You knew that sooner or later those bad boys would pay off.
Somebody was going to get a hit.

With the electronic slots they can be reprogrammed every night as easily as hitting a button.

"The machines were found to be repeatedly flashing the word "RATS" at speeds too high to see. Canadians who were exposed to these images were found to be voting for Democrats in elections while vacationing in Palm Beach County Florida."

lifelong_republican, you continue to post the same thing day after day after day. We get it. You don't like electronic voting. But after spending weeks and months posting every single article you can find on electronic voting, you look really desparate when you're forced to start posting articles on electronic gambling machines.

Have you ever actually tried to do something about it? After all, if you're that concerned about this huge threat to our democracy, I'd imagine you'd do more than just scour the planet looking for articles to post on an Internet forum. Or is that all you do, post articles?

Gee our video lottery machines flash messages about where to get help for gambling addiction.

It's your vote, too. Why don't you feel that you can handle casting it for yourself?

That's really interesting about the lotto machines. I've never looked closely at one of those.

Maybe because I can - touch the screen, press the button, cast the vote. Not too tough a concept. Unless, of course, you watch the Terminator movies a few times too many.
