'Perilously' Outdated Voting Machines Threaten 2016 Election, Report Finds

10. Some might be interested in why Germany OUTLAWED electronic vote counting.

Here's an article about it. There were only a few mentions of it in the M$M in the US. The main reason given by the court was that unless the average voter can understand how the vote is verified so he/she trust the process, there can't be a true democracy. The decision came in 2009, not too long ago.

This is from the article: "The twin requirements, of constitutional magnitude, of no "specialized technical knowledge" being required for citizens, combined with the constitutional requirement of a publicly observed count as a practical matter make secret vote counting on computers impossible as the primary means of counting. Nor will a paper trail suffice, said the Court, according to reports about the ruling from European media linked below."
