This trend towards high-tech, computerized voting machines scares me. The companies won't make the software available for peer review, so no one knows exactly how the machines function. In addition, the provision for paper trails often leaves much to be desired.

Call me an old fogey, but I tend to favor hand marked ballots, counted by hand with oversight from both (or more) parties. If it takes a couple days to get all the results tabulated, so be it. I want a paper trail and strict accountability all the way up the line.

Same here. Protecting the integrity of our vote matters more than speed.

I wonder if hackers tend to be conservative or liberal. Perhaps if the paperless vote trend continues we'll find out.
