In reply to the discussion: WSU statistician sues seeking Kansas voting machine paper tapes [View all]colsohlibgal
(5,275 posts)32. It's Time To Get Real About Voting
It's amazing how blasé so many Americans are about computer voting. It's been proven how easy they are to hack and there are more than a few suspicious results in the last decade or so, almost always in the R's favor. The biggest was Bush-Kerry 2004, I'm as convinced as I can be that that vote was flipped. Of course Kerry, like Big Al, rushed ASAP to concede.
We need not only publicly counted, witnessed, and taped counting of said paper ballots, we need strict custody procedures from the vote to the counting. No more republicans throwing ballots in the trash.
Oh, and harsh, harsh penalties for famous right wing dirty tricks, like fake voting dates being sent out.

Good question. I have no idea. As an aside, the person suing isn't the one who did the initial report.

people will never admit who they voted for, and asking them is clear voter intimidation.

Especially now. I don't know anyone in Kansas who will admit voting for Brownback.
