Both political parties are working hard to ensure that Americans go out en masse on November 7th to cast their votes. However, will the votes be counted this time?

After a number of contentious elections many Americans don’t even have faith that their votes are being counted due to new electronic voting machines that are, at best, seriously flawed.

ABCNews has an article this morning highlighting some of the problems that exist with voting machines and explains how easily they can be hacked.

From ABCNews:

Computer experts and government officials have voiced serious concerns that if these machines malfunction, no paper record will exist for a recount. Even worse is the fear that an election could be hacked.

Princeton University researchers using an Accuvote TS — a touch screen version of the Diebold machine — showed how easy it would be to deploy a virus that would, in seconds, flip the vote of any election.

Why do we always wait until after elections to question whether our votes will be fairly and accurately counted?
