the essex county freeholders made a bold statement yesterday
by voting against funding for electronic voting machines.
here's a link to the star ledger article:
http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/essex/index.ssf?/base/news-0/1118381728145950.xml& coll=1
i think this is very much a good thing.
it's inexcusable that the current generation of electronic voting
machines: a) don't have a paper trail and b) are closed-source
( i.e. the public cannot see the computer code that makes the
machines work ).
kudos to the freeholders on this one! |

Watch the news coming out of Ohio -- looks like a GOP operative working for Diebold, at minimum, offered an illegal campaign contribution to get county officials to purchase their machines. More at http://www.ohio.com/mld/beaconjournal/12150159.htm |
