Hi everyone I hope you will join me in signing this petition from
MoveOn. It's about the new electronic voting terminals that are being
installed in many states. http://www.moveon.org/protectourvotes/ Too
many are "black box" voting machines -- computer terminals that don't
produce paper ballots. Without paper ballots, there's no way to know if
our votes are counted correctly. Also, computers are vulnerable to
malfunction -- how often does yours freeze up? Every voting method
should produce a paper ballot, so we can verify that our votes will
count. Join me in calling for paper ballots, at:

im confused - would it be like a receipt to keep at home or would it just spit it out and you'd walk it over and turn it in like normal?

i thought that the benefits of using computerized voting was to ensure greater flexibility (bcs filling out the scantron circles things is such a pain in the shorts if you have to erase one you can ruin the whole darn ballot and have to start over) and greater accuracy (bcs the hole punch things r so questionable... can we say chad?)... right??? Not to mention saving trees....???

:Thinking

Couldn't the computer just give us a confirmation number (like you get when you pay your bills online) or something for us to write down and keep that would serve the same purpose w/o having to waste more paper? :dontknow:

sorry if these r stupid questions - im just curious....
