You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Simple solution! NorCo ask to opt out of computer use and return to flawless mechanical machines. As usual, as the saying goes, "we're from the government and we're here to help you" applies. "Hanging Chads" in Florida and officials demand entire Country spend gazillions asking all registrars and pols to replace "perfect" functioning election procedures! They threw the baby out with the bathwater and use taxpayer monies to do so. Florida and others have problems with elections. fix them is fine, but why drag entire Country into the situation? Always knee-jerk actions from government drive me crazy...ie. a school bus gets hit by a train years and years ago, then forever and a day...legislation dictates school buses stop and open doors before crossing a railroad track, as if there will never be another school bus accident at crossings because of their clever legislation. I'm going to pretend me, my grandkids and you are safe now! www.kisslinger.com
ReplyDeleteSadly, we can't go back to levers w/o violating the ADA. But I agree more or less w/ all your observations. HAVA is a misnomer. It should be called the Help America Not Vote Act.
ReplyDelete27 states are considering legislation that either abandons these goofy touchscreens or requires a voter verified paper trail. The Holt Bill in the US Congress would do much the same thing, although that bill has some bad features.
In any event, once we work out the kinks w/ WinVote, another system will be shoved down our throats.
