Another Reason to Scrap Electronic Voting

It's the built-in wireless technology that's now incorporated into many electronic voting machines. The possibilities for electoral mischief and cheating are pretty overwhelming. You can see why in this video here.
Republican run firms manufacture a great deal of voting equipment. My reaction to this is simple: I don't like it, and I don't trust the Bush-loving clowns that run these companies any farther than I can throw them. What do I want?
Simple. Paper ballots, marked with X's, and counted by hand with representatives of all political parties on the ballot supervising in each precinct. Would it take a lot longer to tabulate the votes? Sure.
So what?
