Anybody found to have deliberately falsified an election should get a long prison term.

MY COMMENT:

The touch screens should be completely outlawed, even if they provide a so-called paper trail. There are too many ways to maliciously program these machines. Opti-scans (machines that merely COUNT the paper ballots marked by the voters) would be OK, even ideal, IF AND THIS IS A BIG “IF” there is an ample (not just 1% but closer to 10%) REQUIRED audit of the paper ballots in randomly chosen precincts following each election to make sure the purported vote matches the actual (paper) vote and IF IT DOESN’T, there must be a requirement that the whole vote be recounted using the actual paper ballots. If the paper count doesn’t match the machine count, heads should roll. I think long prison terms should be mandatory for anybody that can be shown in court to have falsified an election.
