Diebold Voting Machines

Electronic voting is obviously a really big problem in our country. Some of the main reasons concerns within the Diebold voting machines are its lack of security. It is simply easy for just anyone to hack in to. Not to mention they had released all of their program including passwords on their website "accidentally." However, even within out the passwords their is a back door type program that goes in untraceable where you can simply delete and put what ever number of votes you want in it's place. It takes about 10 seconds for someone who has never used the program to change the votes. In addition, you can also put a vote alternation program on a memory card which can terminate after it infects the machine with virus that can change your vote to a vote for the opposing candidate.Obviously a serious problem for anyone wanting fair elections. Not to mention, Diebold is a private company in which they can hire workers to manage or alter machines. Making it very easy to go in and put a patch for a certain winner and no one will ask questions.Do you really want the voting process in the country to be running off machines that no one knows how they work.
If I were in a position to change the voting process it would surely be a difficult topic. Paper ballots are subject to rigging but at least they have a paper trail. As for the electronic voting machines which can be changed with no indication of their change. If the government could maintain security the best opportunity would be for the government and not private parties to be in control of the voting machines. Which could also lead to hacking in to if the wrong president is in control of the country and let it happened. Which is why I believe that to start electronic voting machines should be made and maintained by the government. It must have a paper trail which prints out for each voter and well as a paper trail for the county that is controlling the election. If we can make ATM machines secure, surely we can do the same for electronic voting machines. The only problem is that someone doesn't want to. Private companies are to easily swayed and controlled by money. The democracy that gives each person the right to vote just can't simply be affected by mindless corrupt politics any more. We must ensure that voting is fair, truthful, and secure for the sake of our country.
