Vote

[LiveJournal.com Entry]

Remember to vote today, and use a paper ballot.

Why paper?

  • The voting software is not publicly auditable (there has already been some controversy in regards to bugs).
  • It is far easier to rig an electronic vote since there is no physical audit trail (Easy to switch thousands of e-votes, hard to physically change thousands of ballots).
  • It seems to make the old ladies mad?!

Yes, it seems they really want you to use the electronic voting machines. I assume they have been told to try to get people to use them. It was almost to the point of harassment with me. And from what my wife said, it sounded like they harassed her about it.

The old lady encouraged me strongly to try out the new fangled voting machines next time. And tried to appease my worries by telling me that they had to independently verify that the screens read zero this morning (big whoop). Also, when I did get my paper ballot, they did not give me the little plastic thing to put it in, and I noticed that the ballot box was unlocked!!! Is there something going on here? Seems to be some irregularities. It was interesting to listen to the conversation too (seems there was no one else in the room, and they kinda forgot about me). "Let's add up the ballots...seems that are one short..."

Scary stuff.
