I'm not convinced that touch screen voting led to systemic voter fraud in this last election.

But I don't see any advantage to the new touch screen voting. In my precinct, I marked a paper ballot and fed it into a machine that read it and then displayed the count of ballots deposited. I also received a numbered receipt that corresponded to a number on my ballot. The voting process was quick and simple and difficult to tamper with. By all accounts, these new computerized touch screen systems have bugs and security holes, and seem to be, at least potentially, a threat to the democratic process.

Blast from the past

I happened upon an article that details the long strange saga of billiam. I vaguely remember him having issues with Primo, and then going down to SoCAL , but I never even realized he got murdered on LiveJournal!
