"In sum, people will show up on November 7th at many precincts across America, they will select items on a touch-screen, a lucky few of them will see a paper record of their choices (correctly marked or not) scroll by under a glass, and they will return home having participated in a bit of high-tech political theater that may or may not amount to a bona fide election." the best (actually, worst) part: "By way of finishing off today's litany of positively awful e-voting news, I bring you step-by-step instructions for casting multiple ballots on any Sequoia machine. No computer skills needed; just reach around the back of the machine and hold down the yellow button." this is really scary stuff, folks. listen ... according to missouri law, you have the right to request a paper ballot when you vote on tuesday. IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR VOTE, REQUEST THE PAPER BALLOT. if you get any trouble WHATSOEVER from the poll workers, IMMEDIATELY call my wife Denise, who's leading the efforts to make sure ALL voters' rights are protected. her cell: 314-780-1833 Scott _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
