[Voterescue] karp at mail.com has shared: Goodbye touch screens, hello paper as Florida changes how we vote

[Joy Rex]

I wonder if the Florida official who was "highly concerned" about low- 
tech paper ballots was a Republican (who likes the idea of Republican- 
owned electronic voting machines)...

I keep seeing these little movements toward simple, trustworthy paper  
ballots. Should I be feeling so hopeful and encouraged that the  
momentum will keep going and we might actually have an honest  
election in '08? Too many people I know won't do anything other than  
"wait for the system to collapse and correct itself", won't even go  
so far as to sign a "petition" to go back to paper ballots.

But if there are still populous states and cities whose election  
officials are also Republican campaign officials, and the people end  
up voting on the Republican-owned voting machines (not to mention all  
the other voter-suppression tactics), the cheaters will "win" again.
