Electric Voting System

The article "The Voters Will Pay" in the nytimes is a great article for the people who do not want the Electric Voting System. It is also for the people who are on the fence about if they would or wouldn't like to go to an Electric Voting System. The author of the article is unknown so he doesn't have much credibility because nobody knows who he or she is. The argument in this article is trying to get people not to switch to the Electric Voting System. They use evidence from the 2000 presidential election when the state of Florida had a lot of uncounted votes which highlighted the deep flaws in the Electric Voting System. The article talks about good things why we shouldn't have an Electric Voting System by stating that some studies have already showed that the Electric Voting System is vulnerable to software glicthes, intentional vote theft or sabotage. Since the Electric Voting System would all be connect to one company it makes it that much more vulnerable. This article gives a good argument for the people who are going against the Electric Voting System. This is also a good argument to give people insight on why we shouldn't go the the Electric Voting System. It has good evidence and it states a lot of facts about the vulnerability of the Electric Voting System. This is would be an all-around great article if we knew who wrote it, that way we could know what party they are in and some more of their work to show how much we really can trust them but other than that this is a good argumentative article.
