In any election, it's important that the public perceives that the election is held fairly.

It's the concept of having a computer voting machine that bothers me, more so than the specific poor implementation that we have from Diebold.

People's computers are not getting more secure. They're getting more infected with viruses. They're getting more under the control of malware.

I've been saying all along that my biggest fear is that someone would program a machine to give a wrong answer. If that were to happen, the machine would still work fine - we just wouldn't know it.

I don't think with today's technology we can have a voting system that is fully electronic that can be trusted.

In any election, it's important that the public perceives that the election is held fairly.

My position hasn't changed over the years. Which is that online voting is a very unsafe idea and a very bad idea and something I think no technological breakthrough I can foresee can ever change.
