Electronic voting

1. Diebold's voting machines have raised many issues in recent years due to the numerous calculating errors that had been noticed during the tabulation process.  Deibold's machines have been found to be easily hackable without being noticed as well as preform calculation errors such as count negative votes and keep inconsistent tabulations of the specific votes for each candidate. As proved by the documentary Hacking Democracy someone with sufficient knowledge of computer programing could in fact hack the voting machines to better suit their parties desires. The question is why can Diebold make secure atm machines but not voting machines which are just as important if not more.

2.If I was in charge of California's election process I would not use Diebold's machines I would push for legislation for State funded, designed and tested voting machines. Since Diebold's machines prove to be unreliable and they will not release their design and program information to the public there is no way to deffinitively know if the machine will be reliable. If the state was to design and create their own voting machines he voting process would become a safer more secure and easily manageable process.
