Little Hawk, you speak truth.
That's exactly why the American people MUST speak out against insane notions such as: -- e-voting with no paper ballot trail -- state laws (e.g., Florida's) that don't allow a recount unless the oficial results are "close" -- destruction of provisional ballots -- ANY ballots or raw data -- for a period of at least 6 years after an election, or until ALL interested parties have signed off on their destruction -- the use of "proprietary" software for recording and/or tabulating votes -- ANY use of modems for transmission of precinct dats -- any non-transparent procedures for ballot counting --overtly partisan people, e.g., Katherine Harris, Glenda Hood, Ken Blackwell, being in charge of state election policies and procedures -- and a few other idiotic notions.
