As a Yankee with a working XP desktop, New Hampshire's use of 20-year old voting machines reflects innate New England values.
We live in 200-year old homes and traverse the very roads as those who fought the Revolution. Our values revere our history. We were never going to buy into the Steve Jobs business model of engineered obsolescence.
Silicon Valley will mock New Hampshire's 20-year old election hardware, and yet will never acknowledge the vulnerabilities in the technology of modern voting machines.
New Hampshire voters can be confident that the machines used in their elections were not connected to a network because of the old tech. The election in New Hampshire may have posted the most honest result of any state in the nation by virtue of the use of the old-school machines that could not be networked.
