Take the machines home so they WON'T be tampered with? They really said that with a straight face? Wow, wouldn't want to play poker with them.

I wonder how Florida is handling such worries?Most if not all counties have chucked out the expensive machines in favor of the auditable, recountable mark-sense ballots. A handful of machines are kept for disabled voter access compliance. All pro'ly at the expense of the taxpayer including those who bought smart the first time around.

Doesn’t matter. They’re already programed to record only “R” votes.

“Many local election officials have argued that the practice makes it easier to transport machines to polling sites.”
Sure it does. Sure it does.
How are THESE devices ANY DIFFERENT than the other polling equipment that they used to have to bring in?

Ohio's elections chief says she won't allow poll workers to take voting machines home for safekeeping in the days before the November presidential election. Evidently they did it in the past, or they wouldn't be talking about it now.
Taking a voting machine home with you the night before an election... how could that go wrong?

I wonder how Florida is handling such worries? In 2000, a West Palm Beach man was found by police with a punch card machine and blank ballots in the trunk of his car.

Are poll workers still allowed to take home the paper ballots on election night for safe keeping?

Next time I go to Vegas, I'm going to ask the hotel to let me take one of their slot machines up to my room for a couple of days for safe keeping before I play it.

Did they do this before the last presidential election, you know, that one that was so hotly contested?
Things that make you go "hmmm."
