Voting Machines We Can Trust
A lot of money was spent on voting machines here in Indiana in the past few years. If only we got the right machines.
Indiana’s voting machines are not capable of producing an auditable, voter verifiable paper audit trail. (VVPAT) They should be.
Grocery stores and other retailers allow you to see what you are buying, on the screen and on paper. Why can’t we do this with our votes?
Indiana’s voting machines are dependent upon software to count the votes. Many researchers are skeptical of the integrity of the machines, that they can be hacked into or pre-programmed to arrive at certain outcomes. Without a voter verifiable system and a paper trail, voters can always be skeptical about the accuracy and integrity of the tally.

I am a computer networking student, and I can tell you that the web site you have linked to is an ignorant one. Also, I believe that the point of view you expressed reflects it. It is not a matter of a bug or a glitch that would cause the wrong result. The only thing that would cause that is outright fraud from the designer of the system. When a system like that is designed, it is a matter of whether it will work or not when bugs are found. It is not a matter of transferring votes. Do your research a bit more. Computerized voting make recounts obsolete.
