OpEd says quit grousing and give DREs their chance!

[Stevepol]

PA: Editorial says to quit complaining. There's no problem here. There are always a few mistakes here or there, a few "glitches," just try it, you'll like it!





The 2006 primary is just three weeks away. The county's new electronic voting machines are here and a done deal.
It's time for the skeptics, general grousers and other worriers over the future of the democratic process in the county to get on with the campaigning for their favorite candidates.

In three weeks, regardless of the vaguely disguised outrage of those who want a return to paper ballots or retention of the lever-operated voting machines, the chips -- this time the votes -- are going to fall as they may.

And here's a heads up -- there more than likely will be discrepancies when the final votes are tallied the night of May 16. There always are.

"All the grumbling in the world won't change that outcome, just as the frantic calls for a recount in Ohio were ill-founded in the 2004 presidential race."

ILL-FOUNDED???? What snake pit has this guy been living in lately? Who said they were ill-founded? Just more eds like him, relying on other eds like him, none of whom in all likelihood have bothered to investigate even the smallest complaint.

5. Throw them into the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans, WE DON'T HAVE

TO PLAY IF WE SAY NO WAY.

These machines are a laughing stock. They are an abortion on any part of Democracy.

They irreversibly harm every single American's right to vote and they violate the Voting Rights Act and the overall voting process.

BAN THE MACHINES.
