It is shocking how naive people are! In most states, the recounts are done via a barcode printed on the Voter Verified Paper Trail. So the voter can verify the accuracy of the votes while the voting machine can still count and record via the barcode whatever it was programmed to do. The recount conducted using the barcode will accurately reflect the count recorded by the machine. Since the barcode is unreadable without a reader there is no way to detect this fraud without conducting a manual recount of the effected machines. Obviously, that is not going to be easy! What is needed is a secure, automated solution that does not depend on weak safeguard such as paper records, or the voters' vigilance.

Frankly the whole system needs to be overhauled. Until 1 vote is worth the same weight in _every_ state, it doesn't matter if the machines create a paper trail. The whole thing is inherently flawed.We do not need the Electoral College System. It's 2008 for chrissakes....

This is why the Help America Vote Act was a heaping pile of s**t aside from being the biggest dick-slap in the face to the 10th amendment ever. This was the biggest federal government conspiracy if their ever was one. No more paper trail, no more recounts, no more democracy.

I think he did say that.You can still be a dictator and hold elections.Wouldn't you feel better if pulling a lever once every four years somehow gave you the impression that your opinion counts?

Really, really expert grade suspicion - on the part of a registered Republican, against his direct financial interests. I think we can go with that.
