Well, then, by all means, let's rush into another flawed technology...

There's nothing wrong with the technology. When you go to the bank, does it ever withdraw when it's supposed to deposit? Is your balance "accurate within 20%"? Does it ever give money to the guy next to you?

For most people, electronics is still a kind of magic, because they're not quite aware of how it all works, especially older folks. So a "bug" or a "glitch" is a mysterious but somehow expected problem. But it's RIDICULOUS that so many machines all manage to somehow have hardware or software problems, all at once, undetected prior to shipping or during subsequent tests. Giving your vote to someone else? What?

Either the machines are built INCREDIBLY poorly, which is VERY probable, or the people at the stations fark them up, which really just points to poor manufacturing if they're so hard to set up, OR something sinister is going on. Take your pick. But I'm having trouble presuming that computer/electrical engineers designing the entire electronic voting process, the same ilk who make our entire civilization work, are so completely incompetent.

Though it seems that people who failed everywhere else might just end up at Diebold. God knows that's not my first choice of employment.

...Diebold makes stuff for banks too, though. Not a peep.
