Reply #17: The other thing to remember is that glitch reports could affect turnout.

As election reformers, we have to send the mixed message that even though there's no basis for full confidence in the system, it would be a mistake not to vote. To stay home would just skew the results toward those who continue to have confidence in the system and continue to show up at the polls, and THOSE are most likely to be Republicans, since they've been winning a lot of federal elections lately.

So bash the machines, bash the process, but remind everyone to vote anyway because it's harder to rig the thing if the margins aren't so close.
