Making the comparison makes the whole situation a lot more fucked-up in perspective. The fact that petty amounts of cash are treated with such high security compared to the machines which decide the fate of nations clearly sows what a rigged game politics is.

Nevada gaming laws are setup to protect and promote their industry. It's made to look like consumer protection, but in the end it favors big casinos over consumers and over smaller ones. That's what you get with regulatory capture.

If there were some money to be made in ensuring voter confidence, they'd have better systems.
