So when the Primary voters go to the polls will they use touch screen machines?

Is anyone concerned? They have been proved time and time again to be vulnerable to manipulation and yet for America's most sacred of duties, voting, no one seems the least bit concerned..Are we as a country completely "brain dead"?

1. Watch the attached video to see Clint Curtis Testify under oath....

This is very serious and I don't know why some people are not in jail over this!

2. Whats this maipulation stuff, they cant count correctly

1) Consider the user interface of a DRE vs the user interface of a paper ballot.
2) Consider the higher undervote rate of DRE's.
3) Consider the lower undervote rate of levers or opscans, or even punchcard systems.

If they cant count correctly, how do you expect the manipulation to be executed correctly.....

I can prove DRE's cant count very well.

3. the dems will be concerned after they lose the popular election to these machines

4. In precincts that have them,

yes. Not much other choice: Getting their replacements decided upon, funded, ordered, built, installed, and getting staffers and voters trained is a bit of a stretch in 3-4 months.

New tech has a whole raft of problems associated with it, however, so expect to have lots of precinct-level problems and statistical discrepancies when optical scanning is in place where it's new.
