Just go and vote!

Obviously, but doesn't this throw an extra question mark into the winner?

No need to hack ...
It is as much a 'lay-down mizere' as Nixon's second election
All the Dems need to do is ...

The votes are in. According to the Diebold voting machine your new name is Neo.

The dems can't try to sway the election when there are no chads.

Move to an area where they don't have enough money to buy those machines.

Republicans are the only safe ones eh? Besides that Federal $$$ is provided for these machines.

We still have paper ballots here in Wisconsin.
Vote absentee and you get a paper ballot.

Out here electronic voting (just like real voting) is voluntary, but I hear that they're using both electronic and paper to see if one >ahem!< has a greater "truthiness factor" than another or some such BS measure of unreliability...

The Princeton clip shows a vulnerability, but the voting machines are supposed to be certified prior to the election and 100% monitored in secure locations to prevent improper access until the election. The monitoring is supposed to require the "buddy system" for any access to the area where the machines are stored. Thus any operations such as those shown infecting the voting machines would require at least 2 people. Not impossible, but if the controlled access "buddies" are required to be from different parties you would have a built-in check on the illegal activity.

The key word in your quote is "supposed". However, some of the hacks take less than a minute. Are we absolutely certain that all of the devices are kept in such a way that nobody can get a minute alone with them?

Only if the election supervisors are honest.
