Go further: have them produce printed, human-readable, paper ballots that people voting can look at and verify that they're correct, and then feed those into optical scanners that tabulate, and maybe display the results of the scanning if you're paranoid about the scanner integrity.

They don't need to be connected if the companies that built them and sold them to the taxpayers were the ones that built in the flaws. Most of the companies have long known about the issues, but somehow refuse to do anything about them. These companies are conservatively owned and run. Some people think the "flaws" these hackers are revealing are really "features".

Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
