It isn't practical to inspect and test to try to ensure the integrity of the vote counting programs because:
(a.) many voting systems use microsoft windows operating systems with hundreds of other programs on them, including drivers, any one of which could be used to tamper with vote counts; and
(b.) computer scientists claim that it is impossible to test enough to find all bugs; and
(c.)most election officials do not have the resources or expert computer technicians to do such testing before, during, and after elections on each voting machine. | |
