They're no good because you can't cheat.

Punchcards are simple and secure. Anyone who can't understand them shouldn't vote.

It's not impossible to retrofit those machines with an internal printer if they want a 'paper trail'. I don't know if the manufacturer offers that as an option or as backup in case of equipment failure, and I don't recall the FEC requiring such in electronic voting machines. Since the petition doesn't supply any useful details and is impossibly vauge, it's impossible to take it seriously. If the petition author had included a manufacturer and model number instead of vauge allegations, they might have a case. As is, it just looks like more crybaby antics from a bunch of losers.

You're exactly right.

We're one of the most technology advanced country's in the world, and we can't create a machine that is fraud-proof?? The only reason this is still a problem in this country is because a certain party does not want fraud-proof machines.
