Black box voting

One thing that has mystified me is that no one, nobody at all on a national level, is addressing the issue over electronic voting. Here's a small taste I found, but this is it.

It would be one thing if, while there was no paper trail, there was at least an electronic trail of the votes. But in many counties, there isn't even an electronic trail! So what would stop anyone, anyone at all, from entering any damn number they chose? Um, the answer to that would be...NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL. And we call this a democracy?

Before 2006 rolls around we need to hit this and hit it hard. The problem is that no one in the media wants to be labeled a (horrors!) CONSPIRACY THEORIST. But dammit they need to get over it, or else nothing of any value in this administration is going to get reported at all over the next (I hope only) four years. Look at it this way, and put it this way to scoffing Republicans: if Dems had won the election and there was any question about the vote at all, you know Republicans would be all over this, Fox would be talking about how Dems "mysteriously stole the vote" (they say that anyway of course, even when we lose), and on and on, and no peace would be had until we'd finally put a locked-in standard into place that made sense. But as long as the Republicans are benefiting from this mysterious gap in a rational electoral system, do you think we'll see substantial change in the system? That's a rhetorical question by the way.
