Let's have Two Debates, Please, Before ANY election reform bill is voted on Is democracy served by electronic ballots?[Some] say that a representation of the votes(a display on a computer screen or a secondary paper printout)gives sufficient proof that the secret internal computer record of the vote contains the voter's intent.We disagree.Voter intent can only be assured if the voter is able to verify the ballot that is counted.No voter can verify an internal computer record.

Voting by Mail is no Panacea The real purpose of elections and voting is NOT the selection of candidates ...that is a result. The ultimate and true purpose is the exercise of our duty to share together in the process of self governance. It is the basis of our representative democracy and is built both on individual voice speaking thru vote but also the coming together as a community.

DoJ Threatens to Take Over NY Elections! on 11/7 "Voice of the Voters" The DOJ is arguing that not only must NY replace all lever machines by September 2008,but Federal law is the controlling law,and the state has no right to impose higher standards than called for at the federal level.This is a very scary assumption - a state has no right to put high voting machine standards in place than Congress has called for..this sounds to me like good news for voting machine vendors,& bad news for citizens
