They love paper ballots because they are easily tampered with- especially with a stack and a long needle- Read John Lott of American Enterprise research on Black Republicans who had a disproportionate amount of "over-votes" in the 2000 Florida Presidential election.

There are so many ways to cheat that I find it amazing that they "IE the D's" are trying to take us back to the easiest way for them to cheat! Yes, they wanted computer ballots but then realized that the Company's that bid on the job were not Liberal owned, so they start with the fix idea.
This is going to get really Ugly.

Electronic ballots can be more easily tampered with. I don't trust the democrats any more than they trust us (apparently).
Gotta support paper ballots, even if Kerry does too.
I'm in the computer industry. I know it is too easy to scam the election without the paper trail.
We can still have the touch screens, and quick tallies. But there has to be something to compare it against, if there appears to be a problem. What if the Republican candidate got exactly 0 votes in a region like mine where Republicans hold an 8 to 2 majority? Without a paper trail, there is absolutely nothing that can be done.
