Why do they use voting machines in some states?!

You need to get into the 21st century....Electronic voting machines are here to stay. If the government doesn't use them they are retarded! In fact I think our next election should be done on the internet. We have encryption that would guarantee accuracy at least as good as paper ballets. It's so lame that people require checks instead of direct deposit. I'm older than most of you and I get it.......

I think that your older is why you think that encryption will matter for such a high profile target. The only secure network is a closed network. There are compaies out there that have information on you so secure that even you are not allowed to access it (I'm not kidding), and even they have this info stolen at times.

I'm 21 :P Nothing old about me, but whenever the government talks about computers they end up paying $3000 per machine with machines that have "highly specialized" ATX SIS boards with Celeron processors.
