What other issue would you care to discuss that wouldn’t be moot once you give up your representation in government?
Mainly because what you say is bunk. As long as man is capable of infusing dry ink onto paper or spraying jets of ink at paper, there can and likely will be a paper trail. I’ve voted a couple of times on a touch-screen electronic voting machine.
Both times I saw a printed version of my selection. I’m not sure what your beef is, nor do I really care. My problem is I suspect you come here under false pretenses, “lifelong republican”, only to push your pet cause.
Since most documented cases of ballot tampering are Democrat and took place with paper ballots, I believe it is beneficial for conservatives to vote electronically. No “hanging chads”, no “dimpled chads”, no replay of Florida 2000, no Democrats riding around with a trunk full of paper ballots.
If you like, you can try to fight technology. Many have tried. All have failed. Perhaps we should just chisel our choices in a stone tablet, ala “The Flintstones”?
I’m of the opinion that if you cared squat about conservatism, you would have posts reflecting that. You don’t. You don’t even have comments on other people’s threads. The FReepers who agree with you will ignore your obvious agenda because they share your views on this one issue. I’m about 90% sure you are misleading everyone here with your moniker.
