What a total pile of crap. The latest numbers I just heard on Fox News was that the ruling covers counties that represent 44% of California voters. If this ruling covers 44% of voters, how could it be strictly disenfranchising minority voters? Do they give different punch card ballots to white people?

Where was the ACLU just this last Fall when Gray-out Davis was re-elected? After all, the same punch card system was used for that election.

Furthermore, woudl the ACLU even be involved if Gray-out was way ahead in all the polls? I don't think so.

And on to my own personal thoughts on voting in general - If you cannot vote properly on any of the current systems (assuming that it's not a computer ballot that has lots of software bugs like they have experienced in Little Rock, Arkansas), then you probably don't have the mental capacity to vote in the first place. This is especially true with the help that is available at 99.9% of polling places (that are often staffed with volunteers who are quite liberal....).

Are these liberal judges trying to say that minorities are idiots or retarded? After all, the minorities are supposedly the only ones who get disenfranchised by these ballots....

Or even better, which minority are they concerned about? Blacks, asians, caucasians, who?
