NJ assembly passes paper trail voting machines!!! Yeah!

[jojo54]

Mods, I posted this in general just to let everyone know that action DOES work!

<snip>Another bill that was approved would require paper verification of votes cast on electronic machines.

"Paperless electronic voting systems are an invitation to abuse and breakdowns," said Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D., Mercer), sponsor of the bill.>

The base of this story is for the NJ presidential primary to be moved up to Feb. instead of June.

1. Double Goodness. I wish they'd move up our primary.

There is absolutely no point in hosting one at all. I can't remember the last time the NJ vote in the primary election counted for anything.

4. You're right

By the time the primary gets to us, it's already been decided. I don't like that at all.

Best of all tho, is the paper trail. I've been pounding it into the heads of my local Dem club/Mayor/freeholders. I hope a lot of other states follow suit.

2. WOOHOO!

I'm going to either make or buy a sticker for my car that says "Don't Mess With New Jersey...We Eat Cowboys For Breakfast." Screw this "Don't Mess With Texas" crap.
