[null and void]

More seriously, with paper trail free electronic voting, how long do you think it will take before Bush is "selected, not elected"?

The whole purpose is to delegitmize the voting process. Without an auditable hardcopy trail no election results will be fully trusted.

The losing party can throw the country into months, or even years of divisive debate about the legitimacy of any elected candidate's status.

It's pretty clear at least one party would rather be in charge of the smoking ashes of a once great society, than share nearly half the political power of the mightiest country in the history of the human race.

They want it all, even if it is all of nothing...

True. This country will go down the drain with Kerry or Hillary in charge. I beleive Hillary will be nominated in the end. God forbid she gets elected.
