I helped set up the electric voting machines here in my little city of Aventura.
After looking at them, the problem i see is that if something goes wrong there is no written verification of the votes. As far as hacking they are in an enclosed system that I don't think anyone could get inside of except at the headquarters themselves when the votes are downloaded.
All in all looks pretty safe and they even have provisions for errors.
Very hard to make an error for who or what your voting for.
We shall see. :eek:
