[LINK] paper ballot alternative

[Jan Whitaker]

This is a snippet from an article about voting patterns/challenges in 
the US election. Someone finally woke up! Pity it takes half the 
machines to trigger the paper. That means a 50% potential delay in 
voting, some places with as long as 4 hour waits now. Remember, the 
2000 and 2004 elections were most likely 'stolen' by the Republicans. 
The article lists counter measures that voting fairness groups are 
taking this year.

successful suit in the state of Pennsylvania means precincts where 
more than half of the voting machines are broken must offer the use 
of paper ballots, according to

been doing some excellent tracking of election fairness at

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
