There has been a great deal of talk about the various Electronic Voting Machines. For the past few years, people have argues on the security or lack of it with these devices. My position is that it is a disaster waiting to happen. Anything electronic, given time can be hacked or broken. So where does this leave us? Open to a great deal of fraudulent voting practices in the long run. Forget about hanging chads!
