I do NOT ever want to hear the words “The computers are always right’ again.

I know this is splitting hairs but the actual computer is most always right. It's the human designed and implemented software that is not.

With that said, I am a huge advocate to go back to the "dumb" machines even if it takes an army to work the polls. Short of that, if it is computerized, make the software open source that is verified by all parties then the verified code is checksum'ed. This checksum should be able to be verified at any time during the tabulation of the votes to ensure the runtime code has not been tampered with. THIS is only a start. Plenty of opportunities to mess with the ballots before this and the totals after the counting.
