The monstrosity of HR811

David Broder: Legislation on American voting will bring battle

<snipped to the last paragraph>

As a non-expert, I turned to the man who knows more about the conduct of elections than anyone else in the country, the director of the Houston-based Election Center, Doug Lewis.

"I have no problem with the objective of creating paper receipts," Lewis said, "But they have rejected every idea we've offered them to show what might work. I've been at this 40-some years, and I have not seen a piece of legislation worse than this. It is overly prescriptive, overly detailed, a cumbersome monstrosity to deal with."
But it is a high priority for the House Democratic leadership - so watch out.

HR811 IS "a monstrosity to deal with." That I'm agreeing with the faux election protectionist, Doug Lewis, on that, or on anything election related, is also a monstrosity. :puke:

We need hand-counted paper ballots...quickly, quickly, QUICKLY! PM me, if you live in Utah, and want to work on writing a statewide citizens initiative for HCPBs.
