There is a huge divided in United States politics between the people and the elected officials. Many Americans are smart, granted we also have our "less informed" people, but the problem exists that smart Americans do not have access to policy makers--directly.
Automated Voting Machines bridge the politcal gap between "us" and "them". Automated Voting Machines hold elected officials more accoutable to their decision-making process as the officials representing a constituent of people.
Bottom line: This particular author who conceived Automated Voting Machines should have his work published in more verifiable sources before posting his conceived idea with Wikipedia.
