POLL: Are you confident the issue of e-voting has been resolved?

Poll question: POLL: Are you confident the issue of e-voting has been resolved?

Are you confident the votes will be counted? This is a big issue. The issue of election fraud is a fundamental issue of democracy in America.

1. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel that we'll be cheated again in November

Boy do I hope I'm wrong.

But I'm too damned cynical at this point to think that there have been any effective changes.

2. I don't personally trust any form of voting right now

There's always a way to steal an election, and plenty of Republicans willing to do it.

9. Some ways are *much* easier than others, though.

I'm an elections inspector, and on our old lever machines there are so many levels of checks and safeguards that in order to rig an election there would have to be a conspiracy the likes of which even I, a cynic and paranoiac, could not even imagine. (It would basically involve someone who knows the machines intimately breaking in and messing with the machinery so that it would flip every third or every other vote, across many machines and many districts.)

Our machines have a lead seal, a paper trail, democrats and republicans checking that numbers match every step of the way.

An electronic machine without a paper trail offers many different opportunities for rigging: in the (corporate secret) software, in the lack of a paper trail (so that suspicious results have to stand), in rigging the centralized counters, etc.

IMHO, the safest way to vote would be on slips of paper, as they do in much of Europe, with an open and public counting session.

3. Still an issue with me.

And the chimp struttin' about while mouthin' off about holding on to both the House and Senate makes me shiver. Hope it's just the :tinfoilhat: in me, but we've been cheated before and fear we'll be cheated again.

4. While e-voting is sucking up all the air, this issue goes far beyond

the diebold machines. Election fraud, in all its forms, has become ubiquitous in amerika.

5. I cannot feel confident with e-voting and sadly next yr. IT comes

to NYS. scary thought. all these yrs I've voted with the lever system and rarely a complaint. these gop's and the HAVA tips the balance.

6. Resolved???

It's barely been addressed!!!

7. Most people still don't even know there is a problem

Unless your idea of resolved is swept under the rug, the answer is no.

8. Not confident

It hasn't been solved at all. Of course, there's the other problem of organized voter disfranchisement.
