If you plan on voting in the upcoming U.S. 2008 elections, you may want to be informed of the possiblity that your vote may not count. It has been shown that electronic voting machines are incredibly easy to manipulate.
After watching the movie, "Uncounted", I've decided that I will not be voting on one of these machines. Instead, I will be voting using the "paper method", if it is provided. I urge you to either rent this movie or see it on cable. It will change the way you think about the subject.
The following clips are from the movie, "Uncounted".
The 2nd clip concerns Clint Curtis, a computer programmer who was asked to develope software for electronic voting machines to change the election outcomes in the year 2000.

Forget all this high-tech stuff. I think the safest way would be to have votes that are physically weighed. Put chip into slot, slot doesn't except chips that aren't the right weight-- slot is watched by multiple cameras that anyone can tap into online.
Although, that would definitely be a less efficient way of voting. I don't know. I already voted by mail :).
That's a good idea, Jared. You should make that suggestion to those who are in charge of that.
I still don't know who I'm going to vote for yet.
