August 20th, 2007 at 05:00 PM I'm still a little amazed at how little concern people have over this exploit, even from some of those who acknowledge that it's a problem. 1. Voter turnout is terrible as it is. This, coupled with the maker's of these machines and the state's nonchalance won't help. 2. We do care how a large contingent of the population voted, and there's good reason why they shouldn't be exposed. Judges, school board members, even doctors and lawyers. Do priests vote? :) Not to mention husbands and wives, employers and employees. Unions. Hey, Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_ballot
