Precisely why such systems should NEVER be used ANYWHERE.

And, perhaps further, why scrutiny of the voting system at
large---electronic or not---needs to extend to its fundamental basis,
not just on the squabble over implementation of technologies.

The entire political system needs serious scrutiny and overhaul;
especially in places that still like to call themselves
democracies---like the United States for instance---where elections are
rigged, electronic and not.
