Amen. Computer voting is really a dumb idea. I like the system in place in our little town. You get a paper ballot, color in your choices and drop it in a locked box. Then the electon officials are the only ones with a key. It's not fail safe, but it beats anything else out there.

Next to giving illegal aliens drivers licenses and thus the ability to vote and through Motor Voter registration, I can't think of a more dangerous threat to our democratic process than unverifiable electronic voting. This must be changed to provide a verifiable auditable paper trail.

The 2000 fiasco in Florida was not because the ballots were "paperless". On the contrary, there was way too MUCH "paper" involved, in the form of the "hanging chads". The objection being raised is that it is much harder to insert a little vote fraud into the newer systems, and this does not bode well for future Democrat vote challenges. Because of the "secret ballot" in wide use in this country, in which it was made difficult to determine exactly which voter selected exactly which candidate, it became harder to apply individual pressure on the voter one way or the other. It also made it difficult to determine if a particular vote had been cast by a legitimate and authorized voter, or was a ballot box stuffer.

Electronic voting maintains the anonymity of the voter, while making it possible to declare a particular ballot either valid or void. You voted after you were assigned a particular number, and if you were ineligible, that vote number is automatically invalidated.

That is the part Democrats don't like.

The California rats lost Prop 56 on a 3 to 1 margin. Blame it on the computer.

They loved it when it looked like they could stuff polling places with illegals. "Push that one. Now push that one. Good...here's your canned ham."
