The written piece is just to see if the machine recorded what you
voted. It then goes in the box at the polling place. You don't get
to carry it out. It's there for a possible recount. Just like punch
cards were, although you couldn't read the punchcard, and the machine
cams could be tinkered with.
Electronic is better if you can confirm your vote was recorded
properly and the confirmation is kept at the polling place.
It's not rocket science and the feds have to impose standards
to keep the faith.

But....but.......the owner of Diebold is a republican......as are the owners
of Apple and Microsoft.

Doesn't matter, if the vote is verifiable. Besides, you know
Hailiburton will get the voting machine.

Interestingly enough the Democrats demanded it after their idiot voters in
Palm Beach County could not understand a simple butterfly punch ballot. So
we spend $4 billion to go electronic and they now want paper ballots.

Is that the election that Bush won because Dems were voting for Pat
Buchanan?

We can always count on those funny Democrats to bitch about something. ;-)

Counting the bitchers here might put that theory in doubt.
I still hear Republicans bitching about the Chicago count in 1960.
46 years ago.
Which reminds me, it wasn't around in 1960, but that Carolina Skiff
2180 sure looks like a fine fishing boat.
