No, I've never cast my vote on a ballot in my whole life. Brazil's been using voting machines for nearly a decade (if not more), and you've got to be pretty ignorant about the whole electronic voting thing to think they're vulnerable.
edit: Just in case you've never used one of those, there's a printer that registers every single vote, and you can check whether the info it entered is correct. |

there's nothing at all to stop malicious code being placed in the system and telling you whatever you want to hear. i certainly don't trust them in the US where there is a rather large amount of anecdotal evidence of machines changing votes. |

All parties audit the system right before the election and, given the fact that changing the code before the election would be nearly impossible and extremely laborious for that reason alone, I fail to see how thousands of hackers could (1) reprogram the machine after they're done voting without any sort of unusual bleep (or clank) that sounded like they were raping r2d2, (2) alter the perception of all voters when they check the printed result and (3) get away with all this and don't expect the defeated parties to demand a recount (that's what the printed results are for, after all). |

well, one of the programmers (?) or someone tied to diebolt did testify under oath that they were approached by someone in the republican party to rig the machines. and then there's all the people that say the machines have been changing their vote etc. |
