Reply #79: My main problem with this is the timing...

bringing up this issue right before elections leaves us with no viable alternatives, but it does work to demotivate people and perhaps cause them to give up hope -- this is the most dangerous situation of all! I understand technically why this is an important issue and I'm sure people will be working on voting systems for many elections to come. Getting rid of Diebold as it exists now, once and for all, seems like it will take a lot of effort in and of itself, but if people demand paper ballots then it will at least be making a statement and there will be a paper document of the vote.
