Good to see that OrangeChicken is still putting stuff together though, I only wish I was in the loop so I could access their releases. Castlevania rondo of blood online.

​ © 2016 Associated Press/Matt Rourke Many Americans have reservations about the integrity of the voting system in this country. Recent computer hacks at major federal agencies, large corporations, and the Democratic National Committee have generated discussion about possible attempts to interfere with the 2016 election results. [1] In the latest poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, most Americans think there is at least some fraud in elections, and 8 in 10 approve of laws that require voters to show photo identification, legislation with a stated aim of preventing such voter fraud. Those who say election fraud takes place are particularly likely to favor such laws. Along with these misgivings, only about 4 in 10 Americans have a high degree of confidence that the votes in the 2016 presidential election will be counted correctly.

However, most people think new technology introduced in the wake of the controversial 2000 presidential election has made vote counts more accurate. The nationwide poll of 1,022 adults was part of the AmeriSpeak® Omnibus, a monthly multi-client survey using NORC at the University of Chicago’s probability-based panel. Interviews were conducted between September 15 and 18, 2016, online and using landlines and cell phones. Some of the poll’s key findings are: • There has been little evidence of systematic voter fraud, yet a third of the public thinks there is a great deal of voter fraud in U.S. Elections, and about 4 in 10 say there is some fraud. Only a quarter think there is hardly any fraud.

• In recent years, legislation requiring voters to provide valid photo identification in order to cast a ballot has been enacted in several states. Many of these laws have been struck down by the courts. However, 8 in 10 Americans approve of voter identification laws, with more than 6 in 10 saying they strongly support such measures.

Those who say there is a great deal of election fraud are especially supportive of voter identification laws, with 77 percent strongly in favor. • Although the Department of Homeland Security reports no credible cyberthreat to the 2016 election results, the public has widespread concerns about the vulnerability of the country’s voting system to hackers. Forty-one percent of Americans are quite concerned about the security of the election, and 35 percent are somewhat concerned. Only 23 percent express little concern. • In addition to questions about the integrity of the nation’s election system, only 39 percent have a great deal or quite a bit of confidence that votes will be counted correctly. Twenty-nine percent are moderately confident, and 31 percent have little or no confidence that the vote counts for president will be accurate this year. • In addition to uncertainty about the validity of the electoral process, the public has little confidence in the country’s democratic institutions in general.

A poll conducted by The AP-NORC Center in May found even fewer Americans with a great deal of confidence in the political process or in any of the three branches of government. • Since the 2000 presidential election, extensive changes have been made in how Americans vote. Nearly 6 in 10 think new technology introduced in recent years has made vote counting more precise. Only 15 percent say new technology has hurt the accuracy of vote counting, and about 3 in 10 think it has not made any difference.

• Most states allow eligible voters to cast a ballot before Election Day, either during the early voting period or with an absentee ballot. Sixty percent of the public approve of giving voters a chance to cast their ballots before Election Day. • Few Americans say the two-party system works fairly well, while about 4 in 10 say the two-party system is seriously broken. Another 4 in 10 say the two-party system has real problems but, with improvements, can still work. Although there has been little evidence of voter fraud, [2] 35 percent of the public thinks there is a great deal of fraud, like voting by people who are not eligible and people casting multiple ballots, in U.S.

Thirty-nine percent say there is some voter fraud, and only 24 percent think there is hardly any fraud. Republicans and independents are more inclined than Democrats to say there is a great deal of election fraud in the United States.

Although the Department of Homeland Security reports no specific threat to the cybersecurity of the 2016 election results, [3] the public has widespread concerns about the vulnerability of the country’s voting system to hackers. Forty-one percent are extremely or very concerned about the security of the election, and 35 percent are somewhat concerned. Only 23 percent are not very or not at all concerned. More Republicans (52 percent) than either Democrats (35 percent) or independents (33 percent) are very or extremely concerned.
