First off you draw a dangerous line when you say this, I feel like your basically telling me that my OWN opinion doesn't mean DICK SHIT and that your opinion holds more weight then everyone else's opinion. Your saying our opinions are wrong, how can they be wrong when they are our own opinion, an opinion is not wrong, facts are wrong, I could say I am a GOD, that is my OWN OPINION, the facts behind that opinion would be wrong.
DONT ever fucking try to tell me my opinion or any other opinion is wrong because you have a different opinion.

Are you running for congress?, You've completely missed my entire point here, my point was that an electronic voting system can be manipulated a fuck of a lot easier then the standard paper voting system, with a paper system real people have to count the votes, with an electronic system a computer program (One that can be hacked without anyone knowing) counts the votes.
So are you saying that the electronic systems are as fair as they get, lets cross reference this a bit, can an electronic system be hacked? YES, this isn't a very good example but has windows vista or XP been hacked? YES, has a million other computer programs been hacked? YES.
With that said an electronic voting system can just as easily be hacked, at least with a paper voting system you've got real people to deal with, people with values, their is a better chance someone will step up and say hey I didn't count this the way they are saying I counted this, sure people can be silenced but it takes that much more work on the part of the people hacking the system.
So if a voting system is not fair the government doesn't have to be afraid of the average person because the group hacking the system can just say hey Mr. so and so can help us out the most, we'll elect him as president and fuck what the people of the country think.
