Reply #99: I'm with you, shance - paper ballots are a must

[gristy]

Paper ballots, along with a few other straightforward details (see signature line below), are a must so as to preserve our democracy. But Dill is right in that we may not get paper ballots in every state by 2004. But if we can get them into enough states, and if we can get out a sufficient vote so as to landslide bush*, then (hopefully) the Dems can reverse this whole electronic voting juggernaut.

And note: I believe paper "ballots" refer to vote-recording paper that is not only counted in recounts and audits, but also counted in the very first count on election day/night. There is/should be NO electronic tabulation from any voter-controlled machine.
