Voter Fraud is a REALITY! :(

The problem is with the Diebold machines that do not print a paper receipt.

Some states/precincts have set it up so that they do, so that's a better system.

Yeah, the paper receipt would be an improvement, but I'm really just surprised by folks who feel like paper ballots are as far as we should ever take voting in terms of technology, and it just doesn't make sense to me, seeing that paper ballots aren't foolproof in terms of fraud and improvements could likely be make to electronic voting.

We vote statewide on Diebold, and it doesn't bother me that much. I feel like trying to perfect electronic voting makes more sense than using a zillion different paper methods.

Without paper, though, Gore couldn't have screamed about Florida.

I've seen local elections turn around by the paper print out. It made me a believer.
