9. Nothing is "Safe"
But levers can't be hacked via a modem or through programmed software capable of 'chiseling' hundreds of votes with the click of a mouse.

No voting system is beyond the reach of bushco but the computerized counters are at their fingertips no matter where that counter is plugged in.

Say you have 1000 levers in a state. It would take a few people days upon days to alter those counters and they might be seen by any number of people. On the other hand, the computer hackers can do their dirty deed in seconds from a hidden room where no one can see them, and alter any number of votes.

I'd take levers over computers any time, and think Conyers would say the same.
