Don't Trust E-Voting? Too Bad
from the vote-anyway dept
Over in Maryland, where studies have shown that the e-voting machines are not secure, the courts have decided that if you don't trust the e-voting machines, that's your own damn problem. They will not allow people to ask for a paper ballot if they feel uncomfortable using one of those electronic voting machines. The court also found that the state had "done everything necessary" to show the e-voting machines were accurate and secure. Apparently, they have pretty low standards.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

No Subject Given
As the Florida re-count showed last year, even the paper verification after the fact is subject to someone's interpretation some where.
And republicans wouldn't have it any other way.
