How do we keep dems from cheating with the new machines? There's no paper trail.

The only thing I can think of is watching them like a hawk until the machine information is downloaded/delivered/whatever to the central tally office. Republicans need to get poll watchers in each and every polling place. The fraud will occur wherever there are no watchers (and probably a few places where there are watchers).

Paid hackers can manipulate totals from thousands of miles away -- or in person that night. Or a week before. It's hack, change code, cover tracks, and leave. Nutty billionaires with endless money to defeat Bush might get desperate. Money walks quietly through backdoors. Anyone?
