Okay, not really something I want to get into, but my mom just asked how likely it was that electronic ballots can and/or will be messed with this November?

I know some of my friends on LJ are up on all this techie goodness, so I figured I could ask here and get some intelligent responses.

Thanks!

That *some* will be messed with? 100%
That any one will be messed with? probably a small chance.

I work with elections here in Canada and have done some research on electronic voting etc. The companies that sell the software and technology for electronic voting say that they have solved all the issues with internet and electronic voting, but they haven't forseen all the things that can and probably will go wrong. Chances are there will be some glitches but that often relates to how old the technology is that is being used. There should be few issues with the new technologies and software.
