Computer Voting Machines Don’t Work?

Conclusion: Use your Paper Ballot.

Why are voting computer so hard to get right?

Computers are being used for banking, FBI data, confidential company information, ect, ect, ect… So why are these voting machines miss-counting votes? I have heard a few different things. Democracy now had an interview with Mark Crispin Miller that was really interesting. He said, "We now see a burst of vote flipping by…, electronic voting machines in a couple of states. This is something that we saw in at least eleven states in the 2004 election, hundreds and hundreds of people coming forward to say, “I pushed the button for Kerry, and the button for Bush lit up.” So, clearly, this was a systematic programming decision by the people in charge of the machines, which in that case and this one is the Republican Party."

Now I bet if you would have voted for Michael A. Peroutka, the Constitutional Party candiate for 2004, there wouldn't have been any problem. More reasons to vote for real change in this country. No more GOB(oys), er… I mean Rebublicans, no more Socalism, er… I mean democrats. Small, responsible government. Now that's something else!
