If this is proven correct, the Federal Government needs to step in and standardize the whole system. This is just idiotic.

I know the system in Maryland is touch screens and I haven't had a problem with it. I don't think any part of the system is linked to the Internet and all the votes are recorded on an electronically encoded card that are tallied later. I hope so anyway. The rest of the country or the Federal Government might want to look at this example.
