Why Computerized Voting Should be Illegal

If you haven't played the duck video from my previous post, now's a good time to do so. It goes so well with the music currently playing.

Pennsylvania Pulls Plug On Voter Site After Personal Data Leak

For security reasons we absolutely MUST have a paper trail! People have been taking fill in the bubble scanner tests for decades, how about those if you don't like the punch-a-hole ballots (although, despite the "hanging chads" fiasco created by some incredibly sore looser who didn't give a rat's rear about the "disenfranchised" voters of the Panhandle who were told that the poles were closed A FULL HOUR BEFORE THEY REALLY WERE CLOSED, the cards work incredibly well). It is too easy to hack into a computer program and rig it. Yes, there were more than one person found in Florida with poling styllus's who said, "OH! WOW! We forgot to turn in this box of ballots! Take them now, please." (News that didn't make it nationally, and by the way, they were all members of the same party...and it wasn't Republican.) They easily changed the tabulated results. But that is time consuming. Could you imagine how easy it would be to change an election with just a few key strokes...

I'm telling you, people, the computized voting is NOT safe!!! Now I wouldn't mind one that printing out on paper who you voted for and filled in the ballot for you bubbling in the person you wanted and leaving a place for you to sign it. Those could then be scanned. There's an idea...
