DU this poll on voting systems!
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/

Do you have confidence in the touch-screen voting machines being used around South Florida in today's elections?

49.6%
Yes. I think the high-tech, computerized systems will give more accurate vote counts than the old paper ballots. (1267 responses)

50.4%
No. With no paper records of votes, these system are vulnerable to computer glitches and hackers who could distort results. (1290 responses)

2557 total responses

1. Looks to me like a fraudulent poll
2000+ and it was .5% in favor of 'not trusting'.

Just not buyin' it.

4. Interesting -- they ignore the main possibility for fraud
which is intentionally programming the software to subtley skew a count.

Unlikely a hacker could break in undetected to the point of influencing an election.
