Scientists make voting machine turn against itself and steal votes!

[The Sushi Bandit]

The team of scientists employed “return-oriented programming” to force a Sequoia AVC Advantage electronic voting machine to turn against itself and steal votes.

Anyone that supports electronic voting machines without paper trails and proper audits is probably not supporting democracy.

The best voting system would be to have everyone chisel votes into a stone tablet. Why, because the harder it is to count the harder it is to change.

Electronic voting is easy to count, and just as easy to change.

Sure paper ballots are a bit slower to count, but to change paper ballots you have to have lots more people then to just change an electronic vote.

6. a paper trail doesn't mean a thing. We should make electronic voting machines illegal. Never should

be used.

7. I like the greek way..

black and white stones are placed into a vase. when the voting was over, you break the vase open and count.
