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.

Wow, guess that button shouldn't have been pushed huh?
First, opinions can be wrong if they are a declaration of something. If you say you are god, you are either right or wrong, there is no middle ground with that. If you said you liked god, you may think that couldn't be right or wrong, but again, it can be. If you don't like god and say you do, then you are wrong. Some things don't have a clear right or wrong, but there still is one. I can't prove that you are or aren't god, so I can't prove you right or wrong, but you still are one of those.
Anyway, as for electronic voting, yes, there's a chance they can be manipulated. But... oh... wait... the paper voting thing has already proven to be fallable with the whole Florida chad crap. Every voting system CAN be manipulated and I'm definitely not saying they haven't been.
So electronic voting has somehow made it so that the government doesn't thave to fear us because computer can be hacked but ballot boxes and paper counting with the human factor is 100% foolproof? Um... ok.
