154. Germany outlaws electronic voting

This should be a non-partisan issue because if the Republicans are hacking the machines, the Democrats are doing it or will be doing it too. In fact, here's a story in Pennsylvania during the Republican primaries, people were complaining:

It's important to note that Germany outlawed electronic voting in 2009. Their reason: "the German Federal Constitutional Court declared that the electronic voting machines used in the 2005 Bundestag elections for the German national parliament were outside of the bounds of the German Constitution.

They reasoned that electronic voting is not verifiable because citizen votes are counted in secret. It obscured a technology inaccessible to all but a very few initiates. Most importantly, the German high court noted, electronic voting machines don't allow citizens to "reliably examine, when the vote is cast, whether the vote has been recorded in an unadulterated manner" Mar. 3, 2009."

Also, go to this story reported on Brad's Blog in which 5 Kentucky Election officials were arrested in 2009 and eventually went to jail (accumulated sentences of more than 100 years) due to election fraud using touch screens:

People are deluded if they think electronic voting machines can't be rigged.
