[EM] Why We Shouldn't Count Votes with Machines

[Dave Ketchum]

Regrettably James is making an incorrect analysis of the problem.

Agreed that there have been some expensive disasters associated with 
computers and voting.

ASSUMING computers were as unreliable as James' sources imply, we had 
best retreat from our computer-based civilization, much of which 
depends on computers reliably doing their part.

BETTER to accept that computers are truly as dependable as their 
successful use elsewhere demonstrates, study how we stumbled into our 
election disasters, and plan to do better in the future.
