Electronic Voting: Hacked?

Jim Crowe, paper ballots fraud, electronic voting fraud, voter purging does it really matter? I doubt any election has been entirely clean.

Come to think of it, I can't name an election where there wasn't a little fraud involved. Especially if you consider all those empty unfufilled promises the politicians make to appeal to voters as some sort of fraud. Heh.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It should put things into prespective. If it hasn't been any different in the past, nor present; then what kind of optimism does it take to assume it'll be different in the future? Voter fraud will exist for as long as there are democracies.

That's not cynical, that's being realistic. This doesn't mean something shouldn't be done, or that we should stop caring. Far from it. It means we should not lull ourselves into complacency that if we take care of this one issue we'll have free and utter corruption free devices in our voting process.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
