Ars Technica has an article on electronic voting. This prompted me to respond to the author with the following email:

I completely disagree with the premise of your recent article. Paper ballots have horrible "security". When you stated electronic ballots will help us "find out who hackers want to be president." Well, given the 2000 election, is it better to find out who Democratic poll judges in Florida want for president? Having paper as a backup for electric ballot is as brain damaged as having a buggy whip as a backup for an automobile.

The criticism for Diebold stems from paranoid liberal fantasies. No system is perfect or unhackable. If we trust poll judges today with paper ballots, then I believe we can trust an electronic system with the same people.
