Election Rigging

This article is a little disturbing as to how our election machines could be hacked. Kind of long but a good read. It seems to me that the optic scanners like they have in Colorado for the mail in ballots are the best way to go as a hand recount can be done with the paper ballots that are fed through the machine. The thing I wonder about though is the auditing of those paper ballots, is it actually being done? It seems like a tedious task but one that is essential to make sure the election process is not being hacked or rigged.
