Are you out of your mind? Electronic voting machines that lack an auditable paper trail are an open invitation to massive fraud and hacking of the results. Without at least a paper backup, recounts are impossible.
Kevin Shelley deserves great praise for taking this action. So far I give him high marks for the fair and intelligent way he has performed his duties as California Secretary of State.
Stick with the picture ~ the Dems finally figured out the electronic systems defeat vote fraud. Since they ordinarily engage in widespread vote fraud to win elections, that means the electronic systems will cause Democrats to lose.
It's really not surprising to see this Democratic official in California attempting to defeat the Republicans by having traditional but fraud prone voting systems put back in place.
