135. It sure is!
Edited on Fri Feb-04-05 01:24 PM by Bill Bored
We need to resolve this ASAP. That's why I posted the thread on Jan 26, mentioned above. But it seems that some politicians have already made up their minds about it, based on this lobbying effort.

I think if they are allowed to vote in any precinct at a particular POLLING PLACE, they should have ONE of these Multimedia machines at each polling place, reserved for use by only those who can't sign the poll book without assistance. They know who they are and so do the poll workers.

There is no need for any cumbersome legal definition of who is disabled and who isn't. Make this an option for those who truly need it, and make everyone else vote with the VVPB.

I just got online and haven't seen the rest of the thread yet, but I can't emphasize this point enough. Let the disabled eat cake, so to speak, but don't take away the bread from the rest of us.

THE VOTE MUST BE VERIFIABLE!!!

Teddy, would it help if we show you some links about the DRE and tabulator vulnerabilities? You ask for public code, but the vulnerabilities are well known now even without public code. They can be seen by just running a copy of the program or reading the user manuals. I'm in the process of doing just that, and others have done it already. You cannot afford to neglect this issue.

Thanks.
