Voted here in Texas yesterday.

They gave us a smart card with a chip (looks like a credit card).

You stick it in the machine and then go through the menu to vote.

If you vote a straight Republican ticket the machine puts a video X in the boxes for all the Republicans.

After the procedure you have a review screen that allows you to submit the results that you verified.

I verified my results many times before hitting the submit button.

Liked seeing that X next to the Trump/Pence box.

Thanks for explaining that for us non-Texans.

Sounds like a good system at the local level.

I am worried about state level hacks, but that is a separate topic.

But we have no way to tell if internally the machine changes it to hillary/kaine. That's the problem. I can't believe we are so trusting about voting machines.

I don't care if it takes a month, we need to hand count these things and video the process non-stop. Do this until we come up with a way of verifying our vote actually was recorded.

Of course, we also need to make sure only citizens vote and no more than ONCE.

Just like we vote.

And you have no idea if your screen presses actually did anything meaningful or if the ‘credit card’ simply recorded a vote for a preprogrammed candidate.

Last election I voted, when I inserted the card, the machine announced ‘this vote has been cancelled’. I never could get the assistant to properly explain what had happened. Decided then and there my vote didn’t count anymore.

Civilized countries do NOT use electronic voting machines. Not if they want to stay civilized.

WE should keep the records of the votes especially in case new machines. We will use it if the Dems truly execute the “blatant” rigging of the actual machines used during election.

“I verified my results many times before hitting the submit button.”
My concern is what is to stop the “fraud coders” from changing the contents after you hit the submit button?

We do not have that here in our South Texas area. Paper ballots shoved into a machine that counts them. It just shows how many voted.
