A highly-encrypted VPN would be a very good way to go about it, as long as the voting machines could only see the central server and not each other. They could even send the results over an SSH tunnel for an additional layer of security.

If they're *really* concerned about sending data over the internet, each machine could have no network connection at all. Data from each machine could be physically brought to a central location, merged, then sent to the next central location until it's all in once place. (The data would be digitally signed and encrypted with the destination's public key.)]]>Aug 23rd 2008 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/Aug 24th 2008 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/Aug 24th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/Aug 30th 2008 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/

Am I voting in the presidential elections this year? You better believe it. Who am I voting for? I have no clue at all. Am I a swing voter? Nope. I just don't think neither one of the two appointed candidates offer us any hope for more prosperous times. Instead of focusing on the real problems in our country, they play silly blame games and distracting crap. Way to go.]]>Aug 23rd 2008 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/Aug 24th 2008 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/
Also, I liked how when it was Clinton vs Obama, Clinton's campaign said you couldn't choose between them based upon voting records, since they were so similar, and you couldn't judge him by his short track record, and you couldn't listen to what he had to say, in short saying you could only know Obama by whatever the Clinton campaign said about him.

I respect your decision if you vote for McCain based upon wanting to continue the war, but i cannot respect anyone who gives in to claims that Obama is a practicing Muslim (not that it should matter anyways), or that he's a terrorist (doesn't that go along nicely with the first thing?). Decide based upon their stance on issues, not on irrelevant facts thrown out by each side's hate campaign.]]>Oct 24th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/Aug 23rd 2008 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/Aug 23rd 2008 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/Aug 24th 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/Aug 23rd 2008 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/Aug 23rd 2008 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/diebold-comes-clean-admits-that-its-e-voting-machines-are-fault/I'm not saying they rigged an election, but when you ask them for a SIMPLE way to print a ticket to double check the e-results, they said "no.

Ironically, people claim we're more "bibled up", yet 30 or so years ago, our nation was more God fearing, had more true Christians, etc.
We even used to have prayer in schools

I about guarantee you it's our *lack* of being "bibled up" that's gotten us to the point where we are now. The nation has lost it's fear of God.
