What percentage of the nation uses electronic voting from Diebold?
Little election result day gift for y’all. With knowledge comes freedom to operate. They cannot lock us down where we are focused.
We?! 
Dammit, Gobbo- I told you, you can’t vote in our elections! 
Watch the video.
Maybe tomorrow, it’s getting too late for me (gotta work, etc). I will say that I cast my vote, and it was on a good ol’ fashioned paper ballot.
Sweet 
I am a closet geek (or maybe a wannabee-geek!) but I have to say I’d rather see paper ballots for the foreseeable future. I’ve had too many computer crashes to completely trust them, especially where viruses and/or tampering are concerned. Perhaps a computerized machine that printed a reciept/hard copy, so here was a physical paper trail. But there’s just too much need for trust and “faith” with a PC system- and I have very little of either where govt is concerned.
Well… it’s not even the case of malfunction but deliberate maliciousness (in my eyes).
It’s pretty hard to ‘hack’ a piece of paper.
Unless there was a way to check, after the election, how your vote was counted, the paper trail would be meaningless. It would be too simple to print out a voter record that didn’t reflect the way the computer actually counted the vote.
Nothing beats paper yet. [ Except scissors. 
]
The problem with a paper trail, as in supplying each voter with a paper copy of how they voted, is that it has been done before, and in large urban areas, as happened in the past, one can simply round up and purchase votes, with payment delivered upon receipt of the paper copy.
I can’t get the link to work.
Is it safe to assume it is along the lines of the documentary, “Hacking Democracy?”
I guess the Democrats don’t have much to complain about. Do you suppose they managed to hack the machines?
“The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”
- Joseph Stalin
Being inspired recently by Ade’s arguments and well-thought out reasoning in another thread, I say that we declare Republicans victorious before voting - on faith - and then challenge Democrats to prove otherwise.
It’ll save us some time and money.
If by they you mean the Democrats I would guess yes. In some jurisdictions it is the Republicans who are protesting the use of the Diebold voting machines while the Democrats support it. Guess who’s winning in those jurisdictions?
