54. So doing the right thing and giving me proof as to how I voted

Fri Oct 24, 2014, 08:51 PM

Oct 2014

is wrong! Because then I could sell my vote, but of course you don't believe that some programmer might just take a payoff to have a machine change my vote. I am 100% in favor of have a printed copy of how I voted and then another copy that is put under lock and used to prove that the machine counted the votes right. Check and verify anything that a machine does is a very smart idea. Better yet take the voting machines and stuff them up the back side of the fools who made them happen and go back to paper ballots. I can wait a day or two for the result as long as I trust the results and right now I don't trust the result!
