Voting Machines Are Insecure Says Government Group

    Here we come folks! Remember those inept voting machines that we all love so dearly?  The National Institute of Standards and Technology has issued a report saying that the machines can't be made secure.                                                                                                                  In a report hailed by critics of electronic voting, NIST said that voting systems should allow election officials to recount ballots independently from a voting machine's software. The recommendations endorse "optical-scan" systems in which voters mark paper ballots that are read by a computer and electronic systems that print a paper summary of each ballot, which voters review and elections officials save for recounts.
