The question is not weather computers should administer the elections, the
question is weather we trust the computers, the programmers, and the ones
who told them what to program.
I personally find the fact that these machines don't spit out a piece of paper
outrageous.
Whatever party you align yourself with: If you don't think that voting
machines should have paper receipts that voters can take as proof, you're up
to nothing good, something like say, committing election fraud.
It's called 'paper trail'. It's what we look for to prove a crime was committed.
In this case, someone made sure we won't have any.
