Default The Voting Process in Maryland

We have those damned electronic voting machines in Maryland, the ones that
do not provide any printed record of your vote.

I asked the polling "referee" why I should trust these machines to produce
an honest count, and she said, "Well, I feel secure about them."

To which I responded, "What are your credentials? Who are you? Why should
I trust you?" She really had no answers that were satisfactory.

On the way out of the voting place, I encountered an exit poller with a
two page questionnaire. Nice guy. He knew more about the damned electronic
machines than the "referee" did.

Oh. I voted for the Democratic candidates for governor, U.S. Senator, U.S.
Representative, County Commissioners, and Sheriff. The Republican governor
here has down nothing of consequence in his entire term, and the
Republican senatorial candidate is Bush's man. Screw both of them!
My Congressman had a "green" party opponent, so he basically was
unopposed.



I voted for Daffy Duck ... for everything.
