Californians not confident in e-voting

[NVMojo]

A BIG DUH!!!

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Two-thirds of Californians believe it's likely that problems at the polls nationwide on Tuesday could call into question the results of the presidential election, according to a new statewide poll.

Thirty percent of registered voters in California said it was very likely polling problems could cast doubt on the winner and 37 percent said it was somewhat likely, according to a nonpartisan Field Poll released Monday. Just 29 percent believed it was not likely.

Done in the privacy of my home.

14. I'm registered permanent absentee

No reason required, just have to indicate the desire to be a permanent absentee voter on the registration form.

12. me too

I personally hate to stand in line to vote

I'm just lazy that way

[Steelangel]

11. Yup, that's what I did.

I refuse to use these e-voting machines. I don't trust neocons and their equipments.

15. I voted...

absentee ballot. Do not trust touch-screens used for early voting. Remember Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside counties--you have the option for voting by paper ballot. Look up the article from last week's L.A. Times that poll officials did not want poll workers telling voters this little tidbit. You have the option for paper ballot.

4. Scarey times, eh?

[ParanoidPat]

9. All Californians have the right to request a paper ballot.......

.......if they are voting in one of the 11 Counties that are using Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) "black box" voting! The poll workers are being told to NOT SAY ANYTHING unless asked by the voter. Pass it on. :)

10. wow, what a democratic place California is ..

not bothering to tell anyone about the paper ballot option...

13. That doesn't help. It only requires a few illegitimate votes to change the

whole election and those votes can be added to the pool via the black boxes.
