Please de-certify WinVote voting system
 

I am in favor of de-certifying the WinVote voting system for several reasons.  It does not create a paper trail that can allow a recount or audit.  Also, I do not trust a voting system that includes a wireless capability.  We all know that even major companies with large security teams and state of the art security software are vulnerable to hacking by both domestic and foreign entities.  I therefore cannot trust a system that is available to entities who are not physically present at its keyboard (as would be a voter or voting official).  Please de-certify WinVote.  The integrity of our elections is more important than the convenience or ease of vote counting.
