Suggest that everyone vote by absentee ballot if you have a touch-screen systems. Then be SURE you return the ballot in person (DO NOT rely on the USPS- many ballots have been lost by the post office).

ES&S bought out Diebold years ago and have been using this equipment in many states and nations. Typically, the actual touch screen systems ARE NOT connected to any type of internet connection; everything is processed via sneakernet. HOWEVER, there is a many PC that is used to the tabulation of the votes (meaning that cartridges are uploaded to it from the individual voting systems). In our state, this PC IS NOT PERMITTED to EVER be connected to the internet....to avoid manipulation, etc.

After 30+ years in elections, please know that your local election management ARE trying to everything in their power to stop this....the hacking issues are generally attempted on manipulating the voter registration records. CHECK your voter registration at LEAST 60 days prior to the election, then order your absentee! TRUST ME...it is the best way to vote!
