It has been repeatedly witnessed that Diebold and other voting machines are faulty at best. What is the rush, after 200 years of an existing and successful voting apparatus, to eagerly endorse expensive gadgetry notorious for creating profound irregularities with their every deployment nationwide?
As one who shies away from conspiracy theories, I'm persuaded to question if graft played a role in the imprudent decision-making by the slew of politicians who've so irresponsibly affirmed these devices across this land. My hope is that California will continue to remain America's voice of reason in refusing to employ this failed technology.

These electronic voting machines should all be placed in huge recycling bins along with Katrina garbage. Deception has been uncovered over and over again. Not only are these machines error prone that are tamper friendly. There's been many studies from computer scientists and universities. All have been able to penetrate the systems and manipulate elections and all have used different attack points.
A new HBO documentary exposes the vulnerability of electronic voting machines that literally "HACK Democracy." If you want to steal and election use these machines.
We need to take back our votes in the country and make them count. This administration claims that it wants to export Democracy when we don't even have it on our own shores!
More than 80 percent of our votes are counted on these electronic machines. Machines that only use secret proprietary software. One Republican senator from Nebraska who ran for office had ownership of the company who was counting the votes!!! Chuck Hagel. THIS IS VERY SCARY, WAKE UP AMERICA!! bring your cell phone cameras video cameras and report and document anything suspicious so it can't be spun away.
