More reasons to avoid electronic voting!

[Evan Daniel Ravitz <evan@xxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

Here are 2 more reasons electronic machines (except "dumb" ones like 
in the Swiss system) shouldn't be counting votes:

Hi-speed internet via power lines means ANY computer could be 
connected to the outside world (and thus subject to outside control or 
hacking) even if no phone line, modem, wireless or network connection 
is evident:

AND, computers could come brand-new (to Hart, for example) with 
spyware or "backdoors" built in:
