Reply #14: You remind me of "Chicken Little"

[bals]

Someone can "hack" into any kind of electronic system IN THE WORLD. Why do you continue to try to cast aspersions on the integrity of our election process? If those type machines have lost votes it hasn't been in the elections we've conducted with them.

None of our IT professionals liked the paper scanning systems, neither did the members of the public that participated in the recommendation process. Maybe we all should have just deferred to your choice?

If a "virus" can be put into the software of the system we are using, why couldn't one be put into the software that reads the scanned ballots? You say the ballots can be manually counted, but there would be no reason to unless the equipment failed. Maybe it would just alter the vote count and who would know?

By your reasoning, every election in every state that uses these machines is somehow compromised. Then we might as well all stay home because these machines won't be replaced any time soon in the political/economic climate we are in.
