The Demonrats were the ones pushing for this system, right?

Nope. Bill Jones, the Republican candidate endorsed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, got the money ($200 million), certified the systems, and then became a consultant for the industry. Diebold, one of the manufacturers, has been a big supporter the Bush Administration.

The systems are subject to tampering, produce no paper records, and you're getting them anyway.

Ok. I guess I was mistaken.

Sounds like someone was getting kick backs though.
