    Why is there always a problem with the voting machines or the way the vote is made in the US elections, I mean other than so someone can be cheated into power.

    Why not just keep it simple, I have no idea what voting system other countries use and can't be bothered to read up on them. But there is never this problem or if there is it seems no one cares. In fact there is almost no need to keep the technology simple, make it as elaborate as you like just test it first.

    if select = mccain
    add "1" MCCain
    if select = obama
    add "1+1" MCCain

    endif

    I have no idea how to program but I'm sure it looks something similar :p

    Thats pretty good. Come to think of it, I wonder who owns the company that makes the machines?

    Last time wasn't the guy who owns the company that makes the machines a very far right republican who stated he would "do whatever it takes to have George Bush win" ?

    You can be sure this wont work in favour of obama anyway!

    Premier Election Solutions (formerly Diebold Election Systems)

    Nice guys all around:
    Not impartial either:
    The voting machines have attracted continual criticism for being unreliable, easily tampered with and running on uncertified software. Interestingly observed mistakes tend to be biased towards the Republican choice. As such conjecture is that Bush won his first election at least in part due to the fact that the voting machines were provided by a company with direct Republican business connections.
