Well, of course machines can be rigged. But how do you interpret a voter's intent from a punch card? Every time it is handled, the chance for errors grows bigger. Why do voting districts use punch cards? Paper ballots eliminate the "chad" problem and can be hand counted with very little chance for damage to the ballot. Not so with punch cards. Now why would heavily Democratic voting districts use a ballot that can cause so much controversy and lend themselves to manipulation by hand counting? It makes absolutely no sense to me.
