Electronic Voting Machine

Tanya Said:

Will your vote be recorded correctly when you select your candidate on an electronic voting machine?

We Answered:

Probably not.

Loretta Said:

What are the features of an electronic voting machine and how does it work.?

We Answered:

A machine has no political opinions, thus has no bias to get in the way of counting the ballots.

Ricardo Said:

Is electronic voting machine(EVM) used for Indian election are safe?

We Answered:

Any computer system or network can be tampered with. See details at the source cited below. EVM violates the public nature of the election in a democratic republic that is India. Bharat Electronics and Electronics Corporation of India applied for patents to World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) claiming non-tamperability. The patent applications were rejected and the two companies withdrew their applications. Moreover, they use chips imported from Japan and USA with embedded programs which are NOT known even to Election Commission ! If things can go wrong, they always will. This is Murphy's law of computing. Ask for a thorough systems audit and keep auditing again and again. Have a paper ballot or a paper trail from the EVM to regain the voter's trust.

Gail Said:

How come you get a receipt from an ATM , BUT NO RECEIPT FROM A ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINE?

We Answered:

I agree.

Then voter fraud would be a non-issue.

Bob Said:

Question for Brazilians: Do you think it is possible to fraud the Electronic voting machine in Brazil?

We Answered:

No chances. The tribunal is very rigorous in the inspection. Nobody can buy a vote. Only an idiot will buy a vote (because he/she will not know if the voter has voted for him/her) and anybody can say "Yes. I voted for you. Then, pay me now for this".

The only one hypothesis is to put fear in a neighborhood pressing for all vote for a candidate under threaten of die some people in a aleatory way if a single vote is giving for another candidate.

Jill Said:

What type of code do you enter on an electronic voting machine before you're able to actually vote?

We Answered:

On the ones used in my district (I don't know the make, sorry), there is a key card that must be inserted for each voter before one can vote. The card is programmed when you show your ID, presumably to ensure that nobody votes without checking in.
