vote fraud

Kwame Kilpatrick won his last election for mayor under suspicious circumstances, people rant about Diebold in Ohio but re-voting is a much older scam.

Cousins. Makes sense, I knew there had to be some inbreeding there!

Heck!! everybody's related if you go back far enough.

The problem with the direct vote count machines is that there are many undetectable methods of perpetrating fraud. Minor changes to the equipment and policies could guarantee detection of fraud.
First of all, these machines have no audit trail. They need some sort of write-once recording device that records the same data as recorded on the voting machine. For example, if the machine uses a touch screen, the audit log should record a timestamp, and each individual location touched on the screen.
Before the polls open, Local officials should do a calibration vote that would log a special record to the recorder. This should be verified independently
This would provide the means of independent accountability
