No that doesn't show anything of the sort. I do not pretend to know everything about GEMS, but if the only recording of a vote is the database record I would be very surprised. I go back to my first point, auditing. In theory they could change the vote enough to give whoever they wanted enough support BUT. And this is a big BUT. BUT will it tally with the raw data? A person goes and casts his vote. An audit point would be collected of a vote for X at that machine at that time. The votes would then be tallied, surely not once as that is asking for fraud, but several times. For the fraud to work, you would need to change the VOTE and all it's records. Not the TALLY.

I think I heard that a couple elections ago, here in Ohio they found a machine that changed the votes between cast and record. I do not know if the machine was actually used or just found.

is it just coincidence that both of you are italians? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P to be honest... I had thought it as well (I am spanish)
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

What is your opinion of the security of voting online or with an electronic voting device with regards to hacking and/or manipulating the results? BTW, this would have made a great poll question this week.

And having met the people programming some of those machines, I do not have any real faith in them. The "lead developer" didn't know what Parse and TryParse functions do. And the other devs weren't much better.

Hi, I don't think we are quite ready for an electronic voting system. I personally think we should revisit the idea in another 4-8 years. Best Wishes, -David Delaune
I think every voter should be made to cut his hand with his hunting knife, and press his bleeding palm on a rock to indicate his preference.

Each voter indicates his preference by cutting the candidate of his choice with a knife. The candidate with the most cuts takes office.

I once read an article about this, not too long ago (summer I think). Hacking a system would probably be feasible, however, the sheer amount of the necessary work to do so, so that it would actually would make a difference was so high it would probably be easier to take another route to rig the elections. They gave an example in the article, but I forgot what it was.

There are no aliens, you're already foiling cosmic rays with your tinfoil hat, and demons are the good guys (it's God and his angels who make the innocent suffer). But I'll agree that pimply-faced youths, in whatever country, are the biggest involuntary-poop inciters of the age. Ter'r'rists? Pfft! Spotty "because I can!"* and "I hate grown-ups!" teenagers are the greatest risk to society as we know it. * Nine times out of eleven, it's "Because I can download scripts!"

In a voting booth you are anonymous, on a PC you can have an overpowering partner standing over you forcing you to vote in a way you don't like.:mad: :sigh:

Not true. According to IMDB regarding Columbo:
Los Angeles homicide detective Lieutenant Columbo uses his humble ways and ingenuous demeanor to winkle out even the most well-concealed of crimes.
