he who writes the program, decides the winner. And becomes very rich indeed!

Bingo! And don't forget that whoever wrote the program can tell the system to glitch up on election night, requiring the "experts" (read: guys on the take) to come in and "fix" it (read: jack up their guy's ballots).

nah! don't wanna glitch. want everything to go so smoothly that the election commission falls deeeply in love with them. You want everybody to rave about how accurate and fair the system is.

The NEXT election is when you start screwing with it.

This ENTIRE thread illustrates that NO system is foolproof just LIKE no human BEING is mistake free. Voting, while a RIGHT, as with ALL RIGHTS, has RESPONSIBILITIES. If the voter can't read, or hasn't the mental capacity to figure out who he/she wants to vote for then I say TOUGH! Spoon feeding someone with foolproof systems that supposedly removes the RESPONSIBILITY from the RIGHT is ridiculous.
