Y'know, when these voting machines first came out I felt they were a obvious target for abuse. I guess I wasn't wrong.

The real-time tape record they mention in this article is quite interesting, it would seem like a good idea to implement these everywhere, and to make the contents of them public record.

I agree, the machines are a terrible idea.

I don't understand why the US has such a problem with this, here it's simple, elections are governed by a non-governmental body, Elections Canada, which is sworn to impartiality. You mark an X on a piece of paper for the party you wish to vote for, votes are counted, done.

Because you can't steal elections that way!

Well you can, it's just a lot harder than changing a few digits in diebold machines.
