Anyone who has used a computer in the last 20 years, knows how the things are UNRELIABLE, how they CRASH and LOSE DATA, anyone who has read a newspaper knows how computers can be hacked into and manipulated. ANYONE with a Brain would know that "electronic voting" is the worst possible thing to happen to democracy in our country for a century. Paper Ballots work great all over the world. They are verifiable, contestable, countable, recountable, every human in the USA has experience working with paper and pencil (many old and rural people have not used computers before and can be baffled). (Connecticut has a great system in place now). Probably the third great blunder of Dubya's Wacko Republicans was this electronic voting nightmare, which just about guarantees that all elections will be decided by the Supreme Court and not by counting the votes.
