physorg.com — Princeton computer scientists said they created demonstration vote-stealing software that can be installed within a minute on a common electronic voting machine. The software can fraudulently change vote counts without being detected.

the 'we are not the worst' justification is an extremely weak argument, there are many countries that have a fairer voting systems, including the UK, Switzerland and many other European countries.

I agree that voting shouldn't be mandatory. Part of the freedom we enjoy should include the freedom to participate in our electorcal process ornot, as each of us chooses.

I agree. Vote counting isn't partisan. There are lots of ways to invalidate a citizen's vote. Dead people, vote rigging machines, "motor voter" blunders: whatever the system, votes are invalidated all the time without the voter ever knowing.

They're Masons, and you aren't? Is that a good enough answer for you?

These things need to be abandoned. Period. This company is far too arrogant and close-minded to be given this responsibility. Without any kind of market competition to force these things up a notch (given the sensitive nature of the machines' purpose), there will NEVER be an electronic voting machine above hacking. They will continue to refuse to acknowledge any issues, and drag their feet on repairing those they do.

@ThermusSlot machine makers and videopoker machine makers have been rumored to have mob ties in the past. The gambling industry in Vegas was wrapped up with the mob from it's inception. Anyone gambling in a casino and losing their shorts (from the one-arm bandits) will have doubts about the impartiality of a machine that just took their money. Heck, that's why lots of folks don't gamble, the odds are against you winning. You want those manufacturers to make voting machines??? I think not.
