Head's up it's gonna be a bumpy ride for 2012 election.

I’m all for technology.

But votes need to be on paper with a paper trail.

That’s why the left isn’t worried about 2012 as I stated a couple of years ago, “We have already had or last free election”.

Maybe I don’t have an 8th grade edumakashun, but wouldn’t you need either an I/O plug, or a wireless card, built into the voting machine to hack it???? Sounds verrry verrry fishy to me, kinda like setting up an excuse for a verrry large loss for the commies.... doesn’t make sense, and as Judge Judy says, if it doesn’t make sense, then it isn’t true....

Biggest BS story of the month.

No-one’s hacking in. You need physical access to the machine before and after the vote, time to install and extract it with the machine dismantled, and no-one to detect it in between. It’d be a lot easier to show up with a truck full of punch cards.

The funny part of this is the mention of an 8th grade education......given that kids are graduating from high school and entering college like an assembly line gone astray, most of these kids can not even do basic Math 095 computations let alone write a proper paragraph......but yeah, let’s continue to hype the idiotic mention that anyone with an “8th grade education” can do such and such.... =.=

Thanks for the post. My belief WRT electronic voting is that if it is to be used at all, the machines' architecture and circuitry along with the software all need to be "open source". I'm pretty conservative, but proprietary code and/or hardware strikes me as open-season for hackers. The article Watchdog85 cites is Exhibit 'A' in the case for "open source". Publish the machine specs and code and let all the techies review. The machines would be constructed with basic, off-the-shelf components. The operating system would be Linux (DSL would do) or FreeBSD. Just ramblin', folks.
