I investigated an absentee ballot here for last year's election (local officials). It turns out that they have one of the electronic voting machines set up in the courthouse for weeks prior to the election for people to come in and cast a vote if they are going to be out of town. To get a paper, mailed-in ballot (I was told) requires signing a statement on the ballot that the voter was not in the county for the weeks prior to the election but as still a legal resident. I do not intend to fraudulently sign the statement, so unless the procedure is different this year I have no choice but to use machines that I know to be susceptible to tampering and error. ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
