HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - U.S. election officials responsible for managing more than a dozen close races this November share a fear: Outdated voting machines in their districts could undermine confidence in election results that will determine which party controls the U.S. Congress.
In 14 of the 40 most competitive races, Americans will cast ballots on voting machines that do not provide a paper trail to audit voters’ intentions if a close election is questioned, according to a Reuters analysis of data from six states and the Verified Voting Foundation, a non-political group concerned about verifiable elections.

LOL. Here we go with Reuters trying to set up an excuse in PA when their Blue wave doesn't happen. "The Rats lost. The machines must have been hacked". Hey Reuters. If you want a real problem in PA voting, how about Philthy and Pitt districts getting 100%+ voting turn out in elections?

@Frank Cannon
Agreed, Mr. Cannon, but the even the GOP lawyers don't care. I assembled volunteers -- willing to risk being the victims of violence -- itching to go to Philly on Election Day and video-document the fraud. The GOP both statewide and in the city didn't have a bit of interest.

That has been my problem with the state GOP for decades. Not only do the GOP apparatchiks know it's a problem, they know what districts and polling places are the problem, but they don't want to get involved. Last time a couple of us made a stink years ago the response was that it was factored in and that they will gin up bigger turn out in the "T". Santorum lost his ass to a mumbling loser that year despite all the "Ginning". It's all a load of shit. That's why I bailed on being involved in party politics years ago. It's all a bunch of old pasty fat white guys posturing for a better position in the GOP hierarchy and not doing the actual work of getting people elected.

They are worried about machines? What about all the illegal voters?
