Texas (or maybe it's just Houston, I'm not sure) has a new eSlate voting deal. It was reasonably simple to use, although I'm not sure I trust it. There has been a lot of discussion about electronic voting systems. Essentially, the problem boils down to this. How much do you trust the manufacturer? None of the e-voting machines give you a receipt of your ballot. How do you do a recount? I would like a hard copy. You have to trust that the manufacturer is recording your vote accurately. And in today's day of corrupt politicians being bought off by big companies, I don't see how you can put 100% faith in any of these systems unless paper ballots are given as a receipt.
