Reply #19: I guess we disagree.

Electronic voting has the potential of being more expensive, more fraud prone, and no more reliable than existing systems even there in NY where they use lever machines.

I'm not advocating lever's per se, their not providing an audit trail being compelling. But there are a number of ways to provide accessibility to the handicapped without getting rid of levers and using touch screens.

"We the People" absolutely can just dismiss the technology, when it's built inadequately especially. And we can challenge, even reject, the existing mechanisms by which governments adopt these systems. That's in the Constitution.

Alternative are abound. Proprietary systems have no place in election management.

And again, I don't know why you use the metaphor an ATM without a receipt. NO ONE can leave a poll with a receipt, so why add to the confusion over that? :shrug:
