If you wouldn't let some stranger go in to the polling place to vote for you, you shouldn't use the electronics.

And the Democrats this week are going to try to pass a bill that would allow Unions to do away with the Secret Ballot so that the Unions can rig elections.

Until we have some way to trace EVERY vote back to a social security number or some other believable national ID and a phone number, our democracy is basically munged.

I live in a county where we have had three successive recounts over a period when we moved from Opscan paper ballots to a Hart electronic w/paper ballot option at voters' request. Folks, there is no way to recount a used electron, been there done that, (I was part of each recount) didn't even get a t-shirt.

After our latest debacle, we fired our elections administrator, whose answer to voting machine problems was to go 100% e-vote, remove the paper option. In a county where 50%+ voters requested paper, we removed him instead.

Holt has the qualifications to design and manufacture a legitimate electronic voting machine himself.

I applaud his efforts to push back against dubious electronic voting machine manufacturers and their lobbying power.
