The Florida election was decided in court, not in polling places.

stn_sage-still whimpering over the Florida issue in 2000?? Then I guess you would say it would have been a good idea to count the military absentee votes then, right???
Just keep registering those dead folks and illegals and you''ll win.
I do believe there is a voter fraud case going on right now in Alabama over some dem wrongdoing. Look it up, why don''t you cause you won''t see it covered here.

"However, machine makers are quick to retort, there''s been no documented case of hacking during an actual election, despite what professors have been able to do to a single machine in a lab setting. "

What about the documented glitches ?

If there''s one electronic voting machine in one precinct in one state, someone can swing the election. 55% paper isn''t going to do it.

Any you 25 percenters who are so thrilled Bush was made president by the Supreme Court would be outraged if a Democrat narrowly won after news of vote tampering.

If voting were real, they wouldn''t let us do it.

Field''s comments are disingenuous vendor double speak. There is a low probability of fraud detection in actual elections when there are no audit procedures in place to detect fraud. These extremely insecure and unreliable machines were hastily sold into a market where election officials, much to my amazement, do not mandate an audit of the machine totals against the paper ballots. Stephen Spoonamore a renowned cyber security expert and life long Republican states unambiguously that electronic voting machines cannot be made secure. He provides a stunning indictment of the electronic voting machine industry in a video interview on velvetrevolution.us.

This is the very FIRST thing President Obama must CHANGE!

Back to the paper ballot of old with LOTS of random oversight.
