Paper ballots good

I'm glad I vote on paper.

Apparently not only is it easy to hack a Diebold voting computer, it's really easy to unlock. The locks they use are relatively easy to pick, and a guy made a key just by looking at a picture on the internet. And this is the one key to rule them all: it unlocks every Diebold voting machine in the country.

Even if vote tampering hasn't happened, there's no way to prove it. The government needs to let us fill out scannable ballots with #2 pencils, so we can recount them with our eyes if there's any question.
