I don't know about vote fixing, but why are some places still using paper ballots of any kind? Here in Davidson County in the Great State of Tennessee, we have voting machines where you push little buttons and have a chance to stand there and check and double-check before you push the big VOTE button. That is the ONLY thing I have ever voted on in the 12 years I've been voting. If the Postal Service can make all manner of laws governing the standardization of postage scales and meters, why in the sam hill can't we have standardized voting equipment? In the computer age it seems silly to use paper ballots ESPECIALLY in a Presidential election when you are talking about millions of votes.
