I was active in the Harris County Democratic Party when Texas began adopting the electronic machines in 2000, and I participated in some of the first training. They seemed vulnerable to hacking then and I have seen so many reports since then that they should not be trusted. Hackers can hack just about anything these days and I think the vote is too important to rely on vulnerable machines.
