Whereas Touch Screen voting machines have received the most attention, she asserts, Optical Scanning Machines pose as much cause for concern based on recent findings.

"This is really the most important thing," Harris said. "Yes we can hack the poll tapes . But what we've learned is there is a 'built-in' that provides the mechanism to hack any election on the poll tapes in the Diebold Optical Scan System

"It's probably not an accident," Harris said, "because you can look back through the source code to see that went through some programming contortions to keep this thing there. It had to have been expensive for them, frankly."

"Everybody is like, oh, paper ballots, we can check them if we need to, but that's not a true statement. That's the big distraction." Harris cites a number of cases where recounts of the actual ballots were not allowed by state officials.

There is only one reason, with the exception of use by some disabled folks, that we are being forced to vote with electronic voting machines.

The reason is so that corporations can fix elections without getting caught, and ensure that elected representatives favorable to corporate interests maintain a majority in Congress and a stranglehold on the Presidency.

Paper and pen balloting based on the Canadian voting system is the voting system that we need to implement in the US.

Electronic voting in any form is nothing but a RW scam.
