I’ve been hearing about some precinct troubles today. In particular one of the largest universities in Florida has four voting machines. It suddenly hit me that with electronic voting you shouldn’t have to vote in a particular precinct.
When I voted early they had voting machines setup in public libraries as opposed to precincts. I voted in a library in my county but which was in a different congressional district. Through the joy that is computers they were able to easily give me the right choices.
I wonder how much poor areas would get short changed during elections if there were people bringing busses of people in to the rich areas to vote where there were plenty of machines.

Electronic voting is all the rage these days. But is it a viable solution given the current state of technology? The most likely answer to that question is “No".
Electronic voting machines would seem to be the end-all and be-all of voting technology, but as the technology stands at the moment, there are some serious questions as to the viability and integrity of any election that uses them.
Numerous privacy and security experts who work with technology on a daily basis have raised serious concerns about electronic voting machines, and, to a large degree, these concerns have been ignored both by the manufacturers of such machines, and by the public officials who have certified them for use in a growing number of states. Among these concerns are the fact that these systems are in no way “open". There is no peer review guaranteeing the validity of the source code used in these machines by anyone, other than the manufacturers. There’s no way of reconciling the numbers that the machines report with the actual numbers of votes cast, because most models do not provide a paper trail. The outcome of the vote is no longer in the hands of the voters, but in the hands of companies who make the machines and may potentially have a political agenda. I’m just waiting to hear on the news one afternoon following this upcoming election that some hacker has called claiming that he altered the election results on a massive scale. The scramble to verify the claims will be frantic, and rife with confusion, and the validity of the election will remain forever in doubt, whether evidence of tampering is found or not.

We’ll find out, at least for Ohio. A lawsuit and request for a TRO has been filed in Ohion. There are two claims, one is that it’s being used to target African Americans which is discriminatory. The second, and one which I think has more merit, is that it violates the Voting Rights Act.
There are people who’s job it is to determine who can and can’t vote. Let them do their job.
