For states that       used electronic voting, having paper backup ballots is a must as       a safeguard against voter fraud.              >Its so 1980.              This is now, with many more options being available for voting.       We should go further, and increase those options, as well as expand       the voting rights to include ALL Americans, including those who are       doing time in prison.              --Lee              --        Every Bottom Needs A Top       --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 80/1 88/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 700 1016 1017 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/464 1038 288/100 292/854 8125 301/1 113       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 460/58 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 801/188 197 202 900/100 106 108 902/6 7 25 26 27 920/1       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 5058/104       PATH: 221/360 1 280/464 292/854 301/1 80/1 902/27 90/1 229/426           |
