Anything stopping someone from just waltzing in with a handful of ballots and dropping them into the box? How many ballots could you fit into the box at one time?

What about the counting, how's that done?

Those of you who have machines now, did you used to have paper ballots? If so then what security measures were taken then?

I don't wonder at all, I know why... Democrats fight anything that would make ID required for voting which in turn would give a great level of security to our elections.

Diebold wanted to keep it secret to protect IP rights. Proprietary algorithms on which tech companies rely to stay in business are used, and if one of those leaks, then the company will go out of business.
If you know programming it's very easy to change a program. All it takes is typing and know how.

Diebold is the only one who knows how to programs a machine to count votes?? I don't think so.

Oh I see. That one security procedure would make it totally secure? Interesting

Yeah...I work in IT. I am a computer programmer. You are 100% wrong. Please give me your list of steps on how you would get a full egg out of a cake that is already baked please.

Yes, it's NEXT to the signout table and in the OPEN for a reason. What the hell does that have to do with your vote being PRIVATE?

Police? I.D.? Bwah ha ha ha!

Last election day (for anything) I was still in NJ.
You walked up to the folding table, told the worker [a] name, they looked up the name and crossed it off, and let you vote in a machine w/ a curtain.

No I.D. check, no security, nothing.
And we wonder why fraud is such a problem.
