No, it's not a security issue.  There is no correlation between electronic 
balloting and supposed anomalies.  A number of competent scientists have 
proven this conclusively.  Why we are still even talking about it is a

No, it doesn't.

The entire thing.  We *do* vote for the leader we want.  Just read the

system works and why it's designed the way that it is.
