Well, now that Kerry has conceded the race, the AP (and CNN) have reported that electronic voting machines gave Bush thousands of extra votes.
Granted, this has only ben proven in one county. Who's to say that it didn't happen elsewhere? It's not like there's a voter-verifiable paper trail or anything like that. This is just another story that really gets to me -- electronic voting is a Bad Idea in its current implementation.
When the computer scientists and electrical engineers building the voting machines are giving them a thumbs up (and better yet, the software that they're running is open source, for interested persons to inspect), THEN I'll consider the prospect of e-voting.
