  1. It’s amazing that machines like these are still in use. With so much having been documented about the ways in which they could – and in some cases allegedly have – compromised the voting process, it’s difficult not to view the continued use of these machines as a willingness to gamble with the votes.

    I mean, if you believe that voting is one of a citizen’s most important rights, then I don’t understand why you would want to take a chance on the accuracy of X number of votes being compromised by faulty equipment – or worse, intentional tampering – and I think that chance is being taken through the continued use of machines like these.

  2. I think the issue here is that there are a lot of people in power in the states who do not think voting is an important right. You would’t want to get kicked out of office after all.

  3. Oh, absolutely. They’re not practicing what they preach.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
