Gambling on Voting
June 14, 2004 4:58 PM

"Election officials say their electronic voting systems are the very best. But the truth is, gamblers are getting the best technology, and voters are being given systems that are cheap and untrustworthy by comparison. There are many questions yet to be resolved about electronic voting, but one thing is clear: a vote for president should be at least as secure as a 25-cent bet in Las Vegas."

Read the entire editorial from the NY Times outlining how slot machines in Vegas are FAR more secure than the voting machines installed across the country (at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars) over the past few years.

This very important series of stories concerning the security of voting machines can be found online here.
