BBV:Flaws in voting exposed
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse! The touch-screen voting machines are rife with major problems. Besides inaccurate counting of votes, they lack means of verifying the count; no paper trail. There is no way to check if one’s vote was accurately recorded.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University reported that votes could be altered on the spot or by remote access.

In Dallas, Texas, early voters discovered that when they tried to vote for Democrats, the button pressed only brought up the Republican name.

4. It's how its framed in the media that counts
usually it's a pr piece right from Diebold, or ES&S. This time, even though it's an opinion piece, it tells the truth. Nice find GBNC.
