Question about electronic vote's, |
|
What if the system crash's? Would that give Bush the power to stay in office till a new election were held?

6. They should have paper ballots available just in case..... |
|
The computers don't work.
I'm of the school that all voting should be paper ballots. I don't trust computers. I don't trust the media to report the right results either.
Get involved to make sure you vote counts otherwise elections are a waste of time.

There are many systems in place. You'd have to check with your county elections supervisor to find out what happens in that event.

4. Patriot delay possible |
|
Under the Patriot Act, the president has the right to delay national elections indefinately if there is "any perceived threat to national security".
Since e-voting is relatively new, there are no specific rules regulating a systems failure. I know that in my county, there are no back up paper ballots to use if say we had a blackout. We are 100% electronic now.......
