Reply #56: And you have never once been allowed to verify your vote on that Sequoia machine... [View All]

Yes, we have the sequoia machines here. The issue is not whether one marks the little circles on a ballot or one pushes a location on a touchscreen. The interface is trivial.

Not even close to trivial.

In once case, the former, the VOTER gets to vote and have his/her ballot reflect his/her vote and have that vote actually tabulated.

In the other case, on a DRE touchscreen system, it is quite literally impossible for you, or any human being to verify that you vote has been tallied as you'd hoped. Impossible.

As a "computer scientist" I'm sure you realize that. To suggest "the interface is trivial" suggests you either haven't a clue how these systems work, or you are simply trying to disinform readers here. If you're a "computer scientist" as you claim, then I'd likely suspect the latter explanation would be most likely.
