HERE is the Problem with E-Voting

Published 7/28/04

Once again, we see clear, direct, unequivocal evidence that pure e-voting — that is, without a paper trail — is vulnerable. To quote the lede of the CNN article, “A computer crash erased detailed records from Miami-Dade County’s first widespread use of touchscreen voting machines….”

We have to have a physical record of every vote cast. We cannot rely on the internal workings of these machines to store our democracy. What will it take to convince people, a burning bush? a star in the east?

Sheesh.
