No, it is all electronic. Not a single paper verification. It’s all “put on a card (magnetic strip)”. One is supposed to verify it with the summary screen at the end, that is all. But how do I know if the summary is what will get recorded? And how do I personally prove it to anyone?
We dont know for sure how our vote is recorded since there "IS NO PAPER TRAIL !;therefore there is no verification of the vote.
Totally unsatisfactory ! Even the proverbial 'hanging chad' is better than this !
Recalibration , or tampering - what's the difference ?
Or who programs the voting machines special updates...
Diebold, IIRC.
The ones the Dems were whining about would make everything Republican. AFTER THEY insisted everything be “electronic”, as if that would make it fool- or tamper-proof.
Remember that all repairmen and calibration folks are union members.
Surely , the union memebers wouldn't tamper with the vote .. /s
As a programmer I could easily show one thing on the screen and tape, and then record another value behind the scenes that gets counted. I could easily do it only on every 10th Republican vote, every 5th independent, etc.
If the "tape" on the side of the machine you're referring to has a human-readable portion that tells you your vote was recorded as "x", it could still easily record your vote as "y" behind the scenes. It's not the human-readable part that gets counted. It's the invisible electronic value that gets counted.
I don't know any computer programmer who thinks electronic voting is a good idea. Perhaps they exist, but they're probably all Democrats and Satanists.
I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.

ANY Republican who loses should refuse to concede. A rigged election is never valid!
Kinda iffy as the finger is off the top of the Pubbie, but then with the proper "calibration" . . .
The very title of this article shows just the lack of common sense in it. "Can't verify" vote flips . . . just the fact that it happens shows how it HELPS.
Ya' gotta' be an idiot to think that it doesn't.
Re: #26
***sigh*** I believe you.
It’s time to go back to purple fingers and paper ballots and all night counting, I guess.
Yeah, the dem-lib-commie-rats have done it for decades, and continue to do it. The whole Stalin attribution is likely an urban legend, but close enough to reality to get a lot of play on the Net.

If the computer designers (crooks) were intent on preventing corruption, they could design the voting screens to eliminate or make it unlikely that wrong votes would be made or go undetected. Instead of placing opposing candidates immediately next to each other, they could space the touch boxes far apart on the screen. Now, they claim that voters with fat fingers touch the wrong area on the screen by mistake. Of course, this was likely their plan from the beginning so they could blame the machine switching on the voter.
Excellent.
Of course, if you are caught filming inside the polls in WI, you’ll be ejected, or arrested!
Why can’t a savvy (and dishonest) programer fiddle with our Optical Scanner machines to mis-count votes too? Of course the paper ballots would be a check to any skulduggery, but they’d never be checked unless there was reason to believe that some caper had gone down.
“True the Vote, an election-watch group that sued the Obama administration’s Internal Revenue Service, said computer glitches are to be expected.”
Just for starters: Touch screen voting needs to be outlawed. And to think they made up the crap about hanging chads to get to here.
No. You don't "call for an investigation." You SUE the manufacturer of the voting machine for FRAUD. I guarantee the manufacturer, to save its reputation, will find out RIGHT QUICK who messed with its machine. And will then blast the news everywhere.
“If voting was that important they would not let us do it.”
someone else.
Apparently it is that important and they are not letting us do it in a fair manner. Me.
