Paul Krugman lays out the e-voting machine issues in his column. Here's his opening paragraph:
Inviting Bush supporters to a fund-raiser, the host wrote, "I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." No surprise there. But Walden O'Dell - who says that he wasn't talking about his business operations - happens to be the chief executive of Diebold Inc., whose touch-screen voting machines are in increasingly widespread use across the United States.

My main issue with the new touch screen craze sweeping the nation is how easy vote manipulation is going to be. I think that the touch screen should be used to print a machine and human readable ballot, or provide a way for people to verify their votes online with an anonymous number of some kind.
