The machines we use keeps two paper records and two
electronic records. Only the sworn poll clerk has the
device needed to turn a machine on and that is for each
voter.
We also have paper ballots and the scanner. The point is
that canvassing clerks can look at and count paper if there
is a need to recount.

Here is a video instruction

the page.

If you have honest poll workers, you'll get honest
elections. If you have crooks, any method will get crooked
results.

you

scale

explaining

| VOTE button would be in-active until she had looked at
and
|
| Snip of incredible story
|
| Here in Iowa, for the first time, we had the choice of
voting either
| electronically, using a bone-simple touch screen, or on
paper.
|
| Amazingly (to me) I was the ONLY person in line to choose
to vote
| electronically, while everyone else in this VERY left-wing
area (the
| last Republican elected here was in 1957) chose paper --
no doubt
| because of all the liberal media gibberish about how the
Republicans
| were going to "steal" the election by using Diebold's
computers...
|
| What was really hilarious (to me) was that the people who
voted on
| paper were then directed (as always) to feed their ballot
into a (you
| guessed it!) computer tabulator! I just about died
laughing.
|
| My night manager, after being told this story, went to
vote in a
| different precinct. He had to *ask* to vote
electronically, and their
| response was "Why would you want to do *that*?" They
were actively
| discouraging the use of the new system.
|
| And, as usual, no attempt was made to verify that I was,
indeed, the
| voter I said I was. Once again, I could easily have voted
multiple
| times, in multiple precincts. Yet we're spending
thousands
| (millions?) of dollars "tightening up the system" by
investing in
| computerized voting machines.
|
| It is to weep.
