One thing that concerns me deeply about the next election is the implementation of paperless electronic voting machines. Last thing I had read, 1/3 of the votes would be tallied in such a manner. The problem is that the voting machines being used do not give the user any kind of physical confirmation of their vote. No reciept, or anything. Just a screen saying "Thanks for your vote!" This means that results could be tampered with, and there would be no paper trail with which to recount. These amchines have already failed in elections in Maryland, Virginia, and Mississippi. These machines have also proven to be easily hacked in forms hindering the electoral process.

I didn't even know that the companies manufacturing these machines were tied to Bush. That is rather disturbing, and makes me even more concerned now...
