I dont trust those damn machines and they should be able to validate with a paper receipt when you vote... <_< :angry:

The article seems like more political propaganda to me.

The Florida voting situation was unique though.

I don't think electronic voting machines should be used at all. They're too unreliable for an act that holds as much importance as voting for president.

In 1999, the state fired the company they were paying to compile their "scrub" lists and gave the job to Database Technologies (DBT, now ChoicePoint). DBT, a private firm known to have strong Republican ties was paid $2.3 million to do the same job that had previously been done for $5,700.

there's so much that's fucked just in the above sentence--remember whose brother was gov of florida at the time? now there's republican-'tied' choicepoint along w/diebold (whose pres admitted he'd do what he could do ensure gwb winning in 2004)...nobody investigates these corporations to determine if there's already an agenda or bias. 'power corrupts' indeed. fucking bastards.
