Electronic voting machine this time instead of paper

[liveoaktx]

ES&S- I looked at it and it gives off no paper chit to verify that the machine recorded MY choices correctly. I do think the people handling the machine are very honest but I don't trust the machine. Sigh. I miss the paper.

1. It's even worse than you think, liveoaktx

In addition to having these DREs produce no paper record trail of your vote, there is even a more insidious centralized voter database being created at the Secretary of States office called TEAM. The database being created by a private company Hart Intercivic, will store the entire database of all the voting records for the whole state. If you think one precinct or one county can be stolen now, think of how easy it will be to steal a whole state now. Proprietary software that citizens have no rights to review. They have outsourced Democracy to the lowest bidder. Faith based voting where the bushies have control of the machines.

Greg Moses of the Texas Civil Rights Review blog did a couple of articles a while back, on this fiasco waiting to happen.

Paper ballots not vapor ballots!
