In reply to the discussion: Meet the e-voting machine so easy to hack, it will take your breath away [View all]JohnnyRingo
(20,893 posts)How is the West Coast and almost all of New England blue? Are the machines there un-hackable by those shadowy neocons that haunt your dreams every November?
Certainly gerrymandering, voter intimidation, and purging has been more a reality than Karl Rove flipping votes from a master console in his secret underground lair.
For any way you claim the electronic vote can be tampered with here in Ohio, the problem has been acknowledged and effectively addressed since 2004. For instance, unlike those Virginia machines, Ohio's are not connected to the internet in any way and you'd apparently be surprised by how many voters stand and watch their ballot being printed. There's not much else to do during that time in the voting process. That paper count is cross checked with the electronic tally at the end of the day by a bipartisan team of poll workers.
