Say NO to Diebold and other partisan voting machines
Edited on Mon Nov-29-04 01:48 PM by ck4829
There is a such thing as good e-voting machines. Take TruVote for example. It was built by a man (Who died mysteriously not too long ago) who knew about Diebold and how partisan it was. TruVote was built with a receipt that said who you voted for. For some reason, Diebold refuses to do the same.

Diebold is too partisan, I for one want to make sure Diebold's 'voting' machines are never used again in an election.

Let's make a list and see how big it can get. Reply to this message and say NO to Diebold and other partisan voting machines.

All programming instructions shall be written in open source code. That code shall at all times be available for public inspection and pass independent third party certification for accuracy and reliability. After that certification the code and all hardware shall be secured no changes shall be allowed to the code or the hardware after certification.
The vote shall only be counted after a voter verified paper record of the vote has been created and retained.

All vote records and counts shall be transferred by verifiable physical means. Any CD DVD TAPE or other transfer medium shall be labeled with the counts and a date time stamp. All records and counts shall be reviewed and verified for validity and accuracy.

And why wasn't this issue addressed by Congress before $4,000,000,000 in taxpayer money went to "reform" the voting process?
