That's great and let shed the light on theses "*cockroaches" to the public....
IIRC, All OK Elections has "paper backup".

A federal judge in North Carolina ruled Saturday that voters must be warned touch-screen voting machines are sensitive and poll workers will need to keep detailed records of complaints about the machines during next week's elections.
The temporary order issued by Judge Malcolm Howard stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the state Republican Party against the State Board of Elections a day earlier.

That's called "evidence" in legal lingo.
Good for him. Judges don’t like to get mixed up in elections but this is a good ruling. He must be a pretty good lawyer.
This is why electronic voting machines MUST print out your votes and allow you to view them through a window so that you KNOW that your votes are cast correctly. If the votes are not correct, you and the election judge can void it and the votes are electronically subtracted from the total and you vote again.
Bump.
Our county doesn't use the touch screen machines. We use the ones where you complete the broken line with a black marker and then feed it into a machine when you are done. I don't recall ever having complaints about them in the 15 years I've lived here. Wonder why all of our counties in NC can't have the same machines?
We fill in the oval and feed them into the scanner.
In 08 there was a single touch screen machine there but so few people used it they never brought it back.
Ummm...if there were problems that were fixed then that indeed means there were problems that may happen again. No mention of what caused the problems but, hey, we're supposed to just believe they are gone and couldn't possibly happen again. /sarc
And of course stating (as the Rat SOS in Nevada did too) that there is no evidence whatsoever of any fraud, and the problem with the voting machines was simply due to the Republican voters "brushing" the screen the wrong way.
Yeah. That must be it.
Why not a receipt with a running tally for your vote and all votes cast?
That would end fraud completely, no?
As long as the machines are in service, we’re screwed. They should have been ordered out of service.
The GOP should have tested and inspected every machine well before early voting started. As usual, the GOP is a day late and a dollar short. They are so lame, it’d be funny if it wasn’t so serious.

It is what you can’t see that should worry you.
We fill in the oval and feed them into the scanner.

Same here in Florida.
We use the same method here, works great and I never hear complaints. Don’t know why everyone doesn’t since these electronic machines are too easy to tamper with.
Will this be the election that teaches the public about the risks inherent to computerized voting?

Hence the reason for the printout. 10.00 bucks worth of gas comes with a printout, why not an election.
