Voting Machine Fiasco:
THE SECRETIVE WORLD OF VOTING MACHINES
privatizing the vote - sabotaging the system
by Lynn Landes
The most successful coup is one that few notice. Over the last 100 years Americans have slowly but surely surrendered our public voting process to private corporations and their voting machines... in violation of our constitutional right to fair, open, and observable elections. The price paid has been the legitimacy of our democracy.
The use of voting machines should be unconstitutional. Voting machines can be easily rigged and impossible to monitor. Poll watchers have nothing to watch and Federal Observers have nothing to observe. The use of voting machines makes the Voting Rights Act unenforceable. But Congress has failed to act except to pass laws that give billions of dollars to the states to purchase voting machines, while failing to require any mandatory safeguards or standards. Meanwhile, misguided voting rights groups are suing for the right to use the latest most sophisticated computerized voting equipment which are the easiest to rig by the fewest number of technicians.
