5. Did you see them on Bill Maher last week?
Robin Williams and Chris?

Chris actually said he didn't see what good a piece of paper which showed how you voted would do if it was just a receipt, and went on to voice his concern that people wouldn't want something which wouldn't be anonymous and showed everyone how you voted. He said something like: So, what's the point of walking out of the polling place with a paper receipt? Why would you want to show people how you voted?

Richard Clarke had to point out to him that you would actually put the paper in a BALLOT BOX, not take it home with you.

He really lives in a dream world.
