Our government is very experienced in developing software and systems which are most certainly NOT hackable.....

Look to the defense industry for their controls and systems involved in the control and operation of nuclear weapons systems.

The government knows how to do this properly, the question is why have they choosen purposely NOT to do so?

There is a need for checks and balances in the design, creation, manufacture and operation of electronic voting systems.

Think about this for a minute, our elections determine who will be controling our nuclear weapons arsenal, so why should
election not also require an elaborate set of checks and balances?
