In The Air....
Every voting method should produce a paper ballot, so that voters can verify that their vote is recorded correctly and kept for counting and recounting. We believe:
"Every voter should be able to verify his or her vote on a paper ballot. Election officials must make sure electronic voting terminals produce Voter-Verified Paper Ballots, and they must provide backup paper ballots in case the terminals aren't working. "
===================================================
Voting in the US has become a sort of "unpredictable" action. No one knows exactly what they will come up with after November 2nd. Paper bullets? Electronic Machines? Receipts showing the voter his intention? Back up?
It is known that the electronic system is far better than the paper bullets as it gets the election poll running faster, and it decreases the frauds attempts in 99%. (Lets leave 1% for the "unkown" aspects as it is never good to take something 100%.)
In a continent-sized country as the United States of America, speed and organization when counting the votes for the new leader is mandatory and the 2000 election let a lot to be investigated and pondered and made from the US a reason of laughter for their neighbours and especially by the UN considered "countries under development".
The interesting point is that the American citizens are already being cheated in this democratic poll: some sites are pointing frauds at Gallup's statistics, demanding that Gallup should ask not only republicans about their vote intentions, but also the rest of the Nation. Gallup has shown these past weeks results for the presidential election that somehow have puzzled some of the experts in methodologies and political scientists.
News today tell that the FOX Channel is being accused for showing clear republican messages to the viewers, and naming itself as "fair and balanced". Some citizens are running a protest trying to convince the press and judges that FOX should be sued for "misleading advertisement".
The facts are here to state that the voting system with or without bullets is not the real harm for America's future, but actually, the candidates and their propaganda.
