I am continually puzzled why the national news media print thousands of articles about the problems with voting while completely ignoring a viable solution that has been available for years.

There exists a voting system that is more secure and transparent than any other (including those with paper printouts), but most people never have heard of it. Furthermore, it can be downloaded from the web (www.savioc.com) and run in practice mode on almost any IBM-compatible PC. Full voting mode requires a "Permission Button" connected to the serial port, but the wiring diagram for a simple one is included in the downloaded documentation.
