Blog machine votes no
OK. So last night I saw “Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections.“
I was all fired up. I wanted to wake all my friends and talk about David Earnhardt’s documentary.
Instead I came back to the office to launch a blog campaign: Stop using electronic voting machines, unless they have paper printouts. It doesn’t matter if you are Democrat, Republican or in between. Your vote needs to count. You need a paper trail in case the computer fails.
Of course, I couldn’t write about it last night.
My computer failed.
