Nevada to Treat Voting Machines Like Slot Machines

Published 12/6/03

Filed under: Miscellaneous

According to the Reno Gazette-Journal, the State of Nevada is concerned enough about problems with e-voting machines that it’s going to “enlist the expertise of the Nevada Gaming Control Board” to ensure the machines are secure and accurate.”

Good.

There are several key quotes, but here’s one:

Without a paper record, experts said, officials might never know whether a machine was tampered with to record votes a certain way. Voters also can�t ensure the machine is recording their vote properly.

This is an issue getting more and more attention, and that’s a good thing. Blind faith in your leaders or anything, as Springsteen said, will get you killed. Or at least disenfranchised.
