2. Those 'OLD' voting machines were reliable and largely........
eliminated the possibility of voter count fraud. We sure don't want voting to be reliable and accurate, now do we????

3. Of course not, we can't have that.
:sarcasm:

Feel free to assume that just because I'm not a "regular" here anymore, I know nothing whatsoever about ensuring the accuracy of the vote, and would welcome being a target for your snark. :eyes:

And, FYI, the old "lever" machines were easily "hackable" by social means -- you just changed the counts you read off of the counters in the back when you cracked them open.
