Just a thought
 
Being in illinois, I've come to the conclusion that stepping into a voting booth is similar to selecting a stall in an outhouse.

Here there is paper Greg. We use paper ballots. BUT! It's fed into a machine that records the vote and still leaves a paper trail. After giving my cardboard-sheathed ballot to the official, she fed it into the machine and it flashed a signal that indicated I hadnt completed ALL the voting options. I said to her to feed it anyhow. "The machine can fill in the blanks." She got a laugh out of it....

Guess what - today we are using the same thing - paper ballots fed
into a machine. Paper trail stays behind. Wonder what they did with
the fancy machines.

Actually that was reprising the confessional joke but I am happy to
see you are getting a paper trail on your ballots.



Actually I know what you were referring to. I was taking advantage of your statement.

It's not over yet, but it looks like our governor Quinn is getting his butt handed to him....

Took them across the river to Maryland where cooking the books on the
vote is an art.


LOL!
