Colorado Secretary of State Coffman has done it again. Every time he makes a decision; it ends up being the wrong decision. Can't this guy get anything right? Now Coffman has certified a host of DRE voting machines that have been sitting in limbo for many months awaiting a decision. However, he has made no decision on any of the optical-scan systems that had been decertified. The problem with all of this is that the Governor and Legislative leaders filed legislation today that will require that paper must be an option in the November general election. Vote by mail will also be an option for all voters. NAtional: ONION VIDEO: 'Diebold Accidentally Leaks Results Of 2008 Election Early' [Spoof] LINK
