8. In e-voting computers tally up info about the way electors voted
(which button they pressed or which part of the screen they touched). Such info is collected and stored in the form of anonymous intangible human-unreadable string of bytes. Votes are "counted" and results declared solely by the "electoral service" which is under the control of the Government whose term of office is about to expire. No democratic control is possible over electronic elections.

Hand Count the Goddamn Paper Ballots before thE ballots leave the polling place.

Its an embarrassment to me and my kids that we are even debating this issue.

Hand Count the Goddamn Paper Ballots before thE ballots leave the polling place!!

How hard is that?

Remember the kids will eventually be reading all of this.

Thanks Brad
