We use paper ballots and sharpies.

Never seen the problem with that method.

Never mind the fact that Diebold has 100% control over half the elections in this country (and are friends of Dubya), just because we have the technology to do something (i.e. touch screen ballots) doesn't mean we should use it. Paper ballots and sharpies are pretty fool-proof (well, nothing's totally fool-proof, but you get what I'm saying). And I guess it's better late than never that people are starting to figure out the drawbacks of putting their country in the hands of a private company...too late to do anything about it in '06, though...which is just unbelievably scary.
