Finally, an honest Republican computer expert agrees, the technology cannot be trusted

Here is a very interesting video interview with a man named Stephen Spoonamore, one of the world's leading experts in cyber crime and a self-described "life-long Republican."

Although this interview is from October, 2006, it has only recently seen the light of day. It is just one more bit of testimony from yet another computer security expert, warning us that these machines are incredibly insecure.

Mr. Spoonamore is an extremely experienced computer security expert. As he says, we need to have paper ballots, marked by the voter. They can then be scanned and tabulated by computers, but the initial record of the vote must be made on paper by the voter, so that recounts can be trusted. Also, random audits must be a regular part of the process.

Please forward this interview link far and wide, and demand the following from your secretary of state, House representative, and Senators:

Ban the use of electronic voting machines!
Furthermore, demand that all elections in the United States be conducted:
1) with a hand-marked paper ballot for every vote;
2) the ballots counted publicly and transparently at each precinct;
3) citizens allowed by law to observe the ballots being counted;
4) precinct results posted publicly before being sent to the central tabulator.
