It's interesting that Diebold, which manufactures some of the Electronic Votefraud Machines, is on the public record as saying they can't print an auditable tally yet they also manufacture ATM machines that can.

The only safe Electronic Voting Machine is none.

The best way to conduct as honest as possible election is to have hand marked paper Ballots, counted at the Precinct by randomly drawn (like Jurors) citizens in the Precinct, and then to seal the Ballots for safe keeping or recount if need be.

E-voting has too many possible ways to "cook the vote". I recall the election which first alerted me to this kind of "hijinx". A popular Citizen's Iniative which would have repealed an unpopular Tax in Washington State was winning by a comfortable margin - and then the Computers "went down". When the computers came back up it was losing. I can't prove that it was done corruptly, but I believe it was.

All of the flaws listed above have been detailed, and were detailed before the sElection, by Black Box Voting.

No, Electronic Voting is just a way to ensure that the "right" people get sElected. It was installed to facilitate corruption no prevent it.
