Interestingly enough the Democrats demanded it after their idiot voters

Palm Beach County could not understand a simple butterfly punch ballot.

we spend $4 billion to go electronic and they now want paper ballots.

Really, only Democrats demanded a more accurate voting system? This may
be difficult for you to understand, but our previous system wasn't up to
the task of close elections. In past elections, that were not as close,
we never would have heard of Palm Beach. Those ballots would have simply
been thrown in the trash, as were 3 million ballots in the 2004 election,
including the 153,237 ballots trashed in Ohio. Kind of makes light of that
old statement, "Every vote counts", doesn't it? We have soldiers dying
trying to bring democracy to a foreign land, and you are whining about $4
billion spent to keep America a democracy?

So you agree that the electronic voting machines are the answer to *a more
accurate voting system*?

We have the worst voting system in the world. No verification of absentee
ballots. No voter ID cards. Hell, even the Iraqi's have a more reliable
system to prevent voter fraud (the purple finger) than we do. Amazing!!

Voter fraud, negative ads, lies and distortions. The whole process now
sickens me.

The system has to be changed.........and done so on a bipartisan basis. If
not the US election process will continue to be nothing more than a joke.
turn off voters and remain a bottomless money pocket for lawyers.
