| 40. What state are you in and have you checked your election laws lately? |
|
I've spent many hours over the last three weeks trying to put together a matrix of the election laws for all 50 states to post both here and at Black Box Voting.org. You would not believe what a task it's been! Many states don't have their laws posted on line and a number will only sell you the information! If I wasn't broke and unemployed I'd gladly pay to get them and take the time to scan and post them but as it is I have to rely on 'other methods' to get them. All in all I'd rather give a donation to DU!  States like Georgia have written provisions into their laws that make it impossible to get a machine in dispute adequately inspected. The Georgia law stipulates that three people, a patent attorney and two mechanics, be appointed by law to look at the computerized machines! This is tantamount to appointing two blind men and an attack dog to inspect the machine. If either of the 'mechanics' asks about how the machine works the attorney is there to tell them 'it's proprietary information', you're not allowed to know!
