Ive always found this perplexing. We can have a nation full of atms dispensing money and we have theme parks that use your thumb print at the turnstyle to make sure people are not sharing multiple park passes but we can not build a secure voting machine that can authenticate eligable voters?

WTF is up with that

Nothing electronic should be used for voting. Anything can be hacked.
