...and then an even more giant leap, back into the heyday of the Roman Empire, with the 360!

Let us not forget the dreaded checkstop! I can almost remember the machine language code you would enter on the console in order to put an error message on the user’s printout.

If you want to get right down to it, there is always a way to cheat. What I am proposing is a continuous roll of paper in each machine where the number of ballots totals the number of people who have voted on it. It also tallies the number of “no votes” when the voters votes for no one.

Anyone can claim anything.
Unless he can provide names and dates, who hired him and copies of the check he was paid with and most importantly, provide a copy of the coding that he produced, I would not believe a word.

And I would really like to,

you are assuming that the company producing the software WANTS it honest. a company can make far more money by promising elections than it can by a simple accurate count.

and the political parties want to preserve the option to swing the vote, else there would be simple, easy to understand and verify methods of voting.

Yeah...but the questioning immediately shifts to the possibility that the Ohio election was rigged in 2004. The mioonbats are working reaaaaally hard to prove that machines were hacked. They keep coming back to the exit polls as proof that Kerry should have won.
