		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;We need a voting system that cannot be hacked&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The problem that most IT people will tell here is that it really is impossible to make a machine that cannot be hacked. All you can do is minimize the threat. And I would have to say Diebold doesn’t know how to do this or how to tell their head from their ass. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Something tells me we will never have a perfect system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You're probably right about not ever having a perfect system, though it should be possible to have a reliable system - one where you can do as many recounts as you want and get the same result.  It should also be possible to have a system where we know that every eligible voter only voted once.</description>
