Nix aye on the paper trial aye language OK aye-
Paper trial sucks big whazoo---please dont use that language-- please
dont use paper trail---

this is why-- trail is not in most law dictionaries-- OK--- the word trail has no legal basis no acceptable definition in lawyer land--- OK

Use the word record or ballot-- these 2 words have legal weight.

Those of us who have fought hard for election reform know why this SOOOOO freakin important

If the word trail becomes acceptable then Public offi8cals are more inclined to use the word trail in legislation--- we cant have that-- because the word trail has almost NO LEGAL bearing or weight.

Any legislation that uses the word trail is weakened by the word trail.

ANd we cant have that --- right?

Next person that uses paper trail gets it right between the eyes with a sledge hammer-- OK ?

1. 100% PAPER BALLOT!
And please, if you hear or see anyone using the term paper trail, set them right. It is, indeed a paper ballot that is one part of the solution to ensuring a fair election.

2. I don't care if it takes stone tablets and cuneiform
Zero computers ANYWHERE near the electoral process. PERIOD.

I am a computer programmer. I am aware of the potential for falsification.

There is no way a computer should be let anywhere near the bloody vote. At all. Ever. Period.
