I to like the easy use of the new voting machines but after I pushed the red button to cast my votes I could not help but feel that something was missing. It was not like when I send out an email I always send a copy to myself as my receipt. But by not having a receipt of my vote I felt that I had no defense if the hardware became corrupted or like you mentioned in your article someone decides to hack into the system. This sounds like a much easier way of making what happen in Florida happen again when a favorite son does not win as planned. We need to stay on this issue until something is done. We should not wait until election time rolls around again. I am for lobbying our state reps year round! Bill you bring up a huge amount of great points.
