3. too little too late.
no way this will affect the Nov coming. no way they will be outlawed in time.
It's a cruel joke to think it could be so. It's cruel to think a lameass poll from CNN has any worth.
The real underground rage against the machines over the last couple few years, and the many people working tirelessly to bring it up front - Jack, where were you then?

5. He read my letter on the air
How cool is that. My first time being read on Jack, here is what I wrote:

Jack, Everyone is wondering if Democracy is at risk with the use of Electronic Voting Machines. How do we know that Democracy wasn't already lost in 2000 and 2004? We will never know with certainty that those elections weren't tampered with.

Back to paper ballots and hand counting, if it takes longer, so be it. At least we will know that our votes counted.

6. Congratulations!
But I do also wonder if paper ballots are tampered with not to mention the social barriers in getting to the polls. (I think there should be an open system online)
