How do they expect me to get worked up about an imaginary Apocalypse of vampires and werewolves when it's not nearly as scary as stuff like this??

   Yes. Fear. Muchly. If need be, when these things are introduced, I'll vote with an absentee ballot every time. Not going to trust those things. At all. Ever. Probably not even if they're running Open Source- because the source doesn't matter. The binaries running on the console itself and on the tallying machines matter, and there's no way for you to be sure they were compiled from the unmodified source you browsed before heading to the polls. And even if there were, there's no way to be sure someone who has access (whether granded and misused or stolen outright) isn't changing the tallies anyway. No thanks. I'll stick to my paper ballot, thanks. At least that provides an indelible record of voter intent- provided you can trust your local vote folks to not lose it for you. But still...
