I do fear though that they may be replacing one bad machine with another to make us think they fixed the problem, while putting away our fears and concerns. We should not trust any electronic machines, period.

Good for them, especially after people went to jail for fixing the vote in '04.

Nice.

LOL. Just replacing one bad machine with another. How easily people are appeased.

Good thought. At least people are being made aware of it. But you are right, they probably have already planned to make it look like they are fixing it. Fooled again.

If you do some quick research you will find this is no step forward. ES&S is very corrupt and it has a past and it is shady to say the least.

Bob and Todd Urosevich started ES&S as a company called Data Mark in the early 1980s. Today, Bob Urosevich heads Ohio-based Diebold Election Systems, a competitor of ES&S and the second largest U.S. manufacturer of electronic voting machines. Together, the computerized ballot scanners and touch-screen voting machines systems made by ES&S and Diebold recorded some 80 percent of all votes cast in the recent U.S. presidential election.

There is more but if you look into it, but I have to get to bed now.

At the very least this method of voting requires a paper record. Thats a big step forward, even though it shouldn't be.
