A mathematician at Wichita State University who wanted to check the accuracy of some Kansas voting machines after finding odd patterns in election returns said she is finding out how difficult it can be to get government officials to turn over public documents.
Clarkson filed for a recount after the November election, but Sedgwick County officials again refused, saying only a judge could release the records.
A lawsuit she filed in February against Kansas’ attorney general – and later amended to add the Sedgwick County election commissioner and Kobach – sought a court order giving her access to a certain number of voting records to conduct an audit. She mailed it to the Sedgwick County election commissioner and Kobach, who under state law had 30 days to respond.
Neither responded, later saying they weren’t aware they’d received the summons. “I don’t know if we did or not,” said Eric Rucker, assistant secretary of state. “We are not going to comment on the status or the nature of this litigation at this time.”
Are voting machines are just counting the vote, or are they being used to change our vote?

Paper ballots are cheaper and far less prone to fraud.
Because the software is proprietary, even elections officials can’t examine it and postelection audits can’t be done

After the last presidential election it was rumoured that anon stopped Karl Rove from accessing the voting machines by use of a firewall.
My question is; how hard would it be for these bright hackers to program the fire wall to capture the user login and password???
Now we both have a reason to wonder if it was rigged, our votes need to really be counted,
or they do not count at all.
