What's Wrong With Lever Voting Machines?
I have voted in New York State elections since 1968. New York State has used lever voting machines since long before I began voting. I am afraid that when we start using hi tech voting machines, that fraud will be introduced.
"For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests".

Maybe the concept of pulling a lever is just to complicated for some lol. I remember seeing those kind of voting machine when I was but a wee lad, they looked pretty cool.

I'm worrying about fraud myself actually, it doesn't take much to corrupt the data of any old hard drive or send a virus or hack into a computer, if you know what you're doing.

When I voted on a touch-screen, there were some people who said it was an unfair way of voting. Geez, tell them to get a life. I prefer that than to the old punch-card routine.

Once it got into the ridiculous point, I stopped reading. I mean it truly ridiculous.
