I know we are all verbose, but a yes or no will do. I am not speaking of any particular contest.

14. I would trust them to run the bake sale. I would not trust them to count the profits.

16. Actually, the casual dialogue around here reveals
a comfort level with this system that surprises me quite a bit. I asked the question for this reason.

9. No. Their products are vote-stealing machines!
Black boxes that only store votes electronically, leaving no usable way (even VVPR isn't usable enough) to verify the count properly. I'm a software engineer that works with embedded systems for a living. Diebold election machines are a secure as a bank vault with a screen door.

I was all over this board yesterday talking about this too. There's actually a bill that Kucinich wants to introduce about requiring paper backup for ballots but I don't know that much about it.

15. NO! And I don't care if my candidate is the one winning the "surprise upset victory"
The issue is unverfifiable, non-transparent Third-World privatized "voting" systems which prevent any belief in any electoral result.

19. Not only no, but HELL no!
Not in the General, not in the Primary, not for the local dog catcher race. It's time to break out the bats. And not exactly the way Howard Dean did :evilgrin:

They can make an ATM where your image is recorded on camera and never miss a dime of any transaction but can't make a voting machine that's reliable. Hmmm :eyes:

25. Soon we'll be in control of them....then it'll be our turn.
Sure we may have to overcome the GOP with big numbers in 2008 but they won't be able to fix a landslide in their favor. Hillary's going to deliever us 50 states then the machines will be ours....For 8 years we'll do to them what they've done to us. Maybe even 16 years if we do it right.
