It's easier to rig an
electronic voting machine than a Las Vegas slot
machine, says University
of Pennsylvania visiting
professor Steve Freeman. That's because Vegas slots are better monitored and
regulated than America's

assembled comparisons that suggest Americans protect their vices more than they
guard their rights, according to data he presented at an October meeting of the
American Statistical Association in Philadelphia.
