Please take a moment and vote. Scroll down about 3/4's of the page and the poll is on the left hand side of the screen.

Computer/Touch Screens have the most votes in this poll. This subject hasn't been a part of our news and I don't know why this poll is being conducted. Is it an effort to provide data for the Computer/Touch Screen proponents to use in justifying the "upgrade" to the system in our state?

Thank you. :hi:

1. The problem

The anti-machine vote will be split between the other two options. I don't know which to vote for. Paper's unweildy, but punch cards gave us 2000.

3. Paper ballots, paper trails.

Just my opinion. Punch cards (hanging chads, faulty readers) have their problems.

But even that is way too close. Are the Freepers really this stupid?

10. Yes, they are.

They believe the am-way lies they are told. It's us against them and if them like paper ballots, we like the touch screens. :shrug:

23. Just like my computer

Could be that people think that computer screen ballots are as dependable as their personal computers.

Maybe they are. But, uh, ever hear of computer viruses?

Well, with computer ballot machines and tabulators the viruses are called: re-calibrators.
