Here in Virginia Beach,VA., we switched from punchcards to electronic voting. The first election that I used it, the damn thing didn't work. The poll worker was in a bit of a huff about it, (obviously thinking I didn't know what I was doing). They had to " reprogram " the card. There were other machines that were down.

I have no confidence in those machines at all.

The first use of electronic voting machines in Northern Virginia led to the establishment of the Republican party as a viable political entity.

Without these machines the Dems would have continued to have manipulated elections in their favor into the indefinite future.

Thank you for writing this! There were problems where I vote, too. The electronics failed and people had to wait in line, unable to vote at all, because they were denied the right to complete their own ballots on paper.

And how does "reprogramming" the machine affect the votes already placed on that machine. How does anyone know if they were still counted.
