A human fills it out. A human counts it. A human re-counts it. There are three separate events (at least) where the element of human error can enter in. The electronic voting machine should eliminate two of those if programmed competently. Any first-year programming student should be able to successfully write the basic logic of a voting machine without introducing any of the errors we've read about. @sumathi

It does seem that the companies that make these defective machines are almost going out of their way to make them unreliable. Wouldn't it be better from a business perspective to take the complaints into consideration and work to remove the errors and make them efficient and functional? But no, instead we have examples where a voter will go to vote for one candidate and the machine registers it as a vote for the other candidate, or the machine will come up with different results every time it recounts the same number of votes. Here's hoping some of these issues are addressed and remedied before the next election. This is something I never understood either.
