Subject: RE: BS: Voting problems arising
As long as there's no paper trail, no way for anyone to check the accuracy of the tallies spewed out by electronic voting machines, how can anyone have faith in the electoral process??

Even if the exit polls matched up perfectly with the "black boxes'" results, it's still insanity to conduct an election where a recount isn't possible. (In fact, in some states, e.g., FLORIDA, it's ILLEGAL to do that.)

But in this election, both the pre-election polls and the exit polls were pretty widely discrepant from the "official" results (without all the absentee and provisional ballots counted). These election results are highly suspect IMO.
