Resurrecting an ancient, but most current thread here. This is going mainstream and the topic is thankfully out of the realm of "conspiracy-theory-accusability". It look as if California, the largest voting bloc may de-certify e-voting machines manufactured by Diebold Inc.. the largest e-voting equipment manufacturer. This is extremely good news for anyone who values a fair and democratic electoral process.
Incidentally, the majority of E-voting terminals use Microsoft WINDOWS operating system. Shouldn't that get us a bit suspicious, on a Macintosh users board??
You let the voter review it before leaving the booth. They hit "vote" and a piece of paper rolls into view, separated by a pane of glass so they don't try to take it, and they have to hit a "confirm printed ballot" button and then that printed ballot falls into a bin below the machine.

But I do support electronic voting, so long as a physical copy of the ballot is created and store for verification.

Deibold is corrupt and untrustworthy, no doubt about it.

How can you verify that the printed copy is identical to what is registered on the vote count?
