1. That's a good question, but I think that question would never be asked...

The county executive (Allegheny, Pennsylvania) insisted that all that money was put into getting iVotronic machines (which many of us argued against, while being ignored then). I personally feel that they needed several test runs (as the software is quite fallible) in order to "proceed" at a much larger tally.

Simple solutions do exist, but will people be the driving force to change to paper that is tallied at each voting district?

I predict that we STILL haven't been beat up enough and the answer would therefore be, "no". Amazing… but, you know it's true, don't you?

That was a rhetorical question, then, wasn't it?
