My position hasn't changed over the years. Which is that online voting is a very unsafe idea and a very bad idea and something I think no technological breakthrough I can foresee can ever change.

Many of the touted advantages of electronic voting can still be achieved with paper ballots if you use a computerized ballot marking scheme.

I've been saying all along that my biggest fear is that someone would program a machine to give a wrong answer. If that were to happen, the machine would still work fine - we just wouldn't know it.

People's computers are not getting more secure. They're getting more infected with viruses. They're getting more under the control of malware.

In any election, it's important that the public perceives that the election is held fairly.

What we did is important because we proved that virtually all of the wireless networks used by companies and hospitals are completely open and offer no protection for the data on them.

If our financial industry regarded security the way the health-care sector does, I would stuff my cash in a mattress under my bed.

It's the concept of having a computer voting machine that bothers me, more so than the specific poor implementation that we have from Diebold.

I don't think with today's technology we can have a voting system that is fully electronic that can be trusted.

I am pro-life, and I will be appointing pro-life judges, I would think that that will go back to the individual states.

This is the assembly of life that took a billion years to evolve. It has eaten the storms - folded them into its genes - and created the world that created us. It holds the world steady.

When you see people on the street, they're living in their phones. They aren't living where they are - they haven't got the energy of the past. And so it's something that needs to be reestablished.

If your pride leads you to boast, you will be doubly guilty, because your intelligence will have shown that it is incapable of controlling your pride.

You have to invest if you want to restore balance to the world.

Young women especially have something invested in being nice people, and it's only when you have children that you realize you're not a nice person at all, but generally a selfish bully.

Sometimes people fear the truth. They'd rather not speak to you than know what you really think.
