Here on the left coast, I've never seen an electronic voting machine, only the old kind where you put a dot with the felt pen through the hole to the ballot card.

Mitt produces these machines.

Especially if you're like Mitt Romney and your family owns the machines that will count the votes.

Electronic voting machines are not always reliable so I would not support their use.

I am responding from Canada where a ballot is marked 'X' on the line next to the candidate of ones' choice with a black lead pencil.

The votes are counted and entered by machine. In the case of a discrepancy, the paper ballots are recounted. In the case of a poorly marked ballot, it may be excluded. This eliminates the problem with 3 corner chads, two corner chads, 1 corner chads, dimples with sunlight or just plain dimples as one finds with paper ballots in some U.S. voting systems.

I think the U.S. is overdue for a single voting method across the board but electronic voting machines are just too vulnerable to tampering and a variety of other complications.

I hope this is some assistance on your english report. Good Day!

New York used mechanical voting machines made by Shoup, which were extremely hard to alter results. Electronic machines however, are faitrly easy to alter, since it just requires hacking the memory or the program to flip a small percentage of votes.

Voting machines are a total fraud.
