US should fallow and say no to diabold machines

open sauce?

Open Sauce is no much better than Haute Sauce.

What flavour will that Open Sauce be? Is it spicey? Is it sweet and sour? And what is the source of this sauce?

These machines aren't actually touch screen. They have a small numerical keyboard where you punch in the candidate's 'number'. These things have to be fool and bullet proof, since they have to be taken deep into the amazon forest and still work... no kiddin'!

I wouldn't call such a system like this while they don't remove that suspicious cable that connects the id-registering machine to the very voting machine.


During the last elections, lots of voting machines in the district that i live gave EXACTLY the same percentage of votes to the same candidates... (those running for lower ranking , local offices)

Not to mention that there is still no paper trail, which is the biggest problem of all. So, whatever the machines report is gospel and can't be checked...

That being said, the voting system, the secrecy and the behavior of the involved parties in the USA are a complete disgrace. Bush stole the first election judicially, and the second, electronically.

Governments all around the globe will go electronic because it's cheaper and easier to cheat.

As said by Stalin: 'It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes'

No airlines make stopovers at Guantanamo Bay, and the US economy is too weak to afford routing them through the London Underground.

God forbid! You want Bill Gates to be poor? How is he going to save the planet then? We can't have that sorry!

I couldn't agree more with your last paragraph. 10-20 years ago it would be laughable that Brazil would have elections that are more fair than the U.S. Now it is laughable if you think any part of the U.S. voting system works right.

Unfortunately, this is probably more true than it should ever be:

Brazil is a chaos in many ways, but if there is one thing that works in this God-forsaken country is the voting system. Is there any other country that can count 99% of the votes in the same day, without frauds? Even with 180 million citizens? Now that is something!
