After years in the high-tech investment community, I have come to a deep and abiding belief:

People want technology to make everything better. Even in the face hard evidence, I have heard inventors, entrepreneurs, and customers (rarely investors btw) say that this technology would only be used for good.

This is why your blog is on my daily reading list. Debunking is good.

The people that want it for electronic vote tabulation devices are wrong, and it's our fucking god given duty to protect them from their own stupidity.

I repeat my argument here.

Yup! All over our local talk radio station today...

The only solution is paper ballots with a good set of rules/procedures making sure all elections have integrity.

Cost is not an issue. Stop with the illegal wars, and there is plenty of money to take care of this.

Was the missing $2.3 trillion lost on 9/10/01 ever found? I'm sure with a good piece of change like that we could have paper ballots.

Brad, yes you!
If you want to know whether it is worse to have your votes mishandled by ineptitude or by malice afore thought...just look at where we are as a country right now. This state of affairs is a direct result of the Republican party's malice afore thought in Florida 2000 and AGAIN in Ohio 2004. Your comment is the result of your typing ability outrunning your (whatever ability). It is this willful blindness that has entrenched the Republicans to such an extent that we may never be free from their plans of world domination.
