Voting for Bernie today

Voting today in Montgomery County MD went smooth; with paper ballots; and No ID required except your name, address, and birthdate. No machines to be hacked at all; and the final ballot was scanned.

you this but the machine you used to scan your ballot is connected to proprietary, trade-secret, hackable, central, vote tabulation PCs. There is a saying in vote integrity circles, "It's the vote tabulators, stupid!". Sorry to be the one to burst your bubble.
