We had talked to ordsprog

We had talked to the Justice Department and received pre-clearance, but the Secretary of State's Office began to interfere with that part, and said that we were violating the (rights of) handicapped voters - blind and other physical handicaps - because they cannot determine if they are voting correctly by paper ballots.

More black voters than white voters had their ballots discarded, no matter what kind of voting system was used. Punch card ballots cheat voters, and they are much more likely to cheat African-American voters.

We don't want to get rid of paper ballots no matter what we're accused of. Some people are adamant that they want to keep paper ballots. Having the system in place would allow them to do so and not use an electronic voting machine if they do not wish to.

The NAACP will consider filing a lawsuit, or joining existing parties seeking court relief, to protect the voting rights of black voters. The NAACP favors out-of-state satellite voting sites and charges the state to meet the burden of making sure that African American voters receive accurate voter information.

Luckily we have a supply of paper ballots we use for absentee voting. We were able to use the ballots as backup.

With the paper-based system you can see the ballots being marked, you can see them going into a ballot box, if you have good laws you can go watch them count the ballots, and with electronic voting all of that stuff is hidden inside the machines.

Voting should go quickly once people learn how to use the touch screen. It's better in a whole lot of ways than printed ballots. An election can be certified in two days. It should also minimize recounts. The old paper ballot machines would sometimes miscount the ballot and sometimes two ballots would go through instead of one. The touch screen will leave a paper audit trail and recover everything each voter does.

The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy, and an essential protection of that right is the Voting Rights Act. Every voice must be heard and every vote must be counted. State and local governments continue to adopt voting laws, practices and procedures that deny equal access to voting - without the Voting Rights Act, there would be little protection against these efforts to deny some of us our right to vote. The Voting Rights Act is necessary to help ensure that every American citizen is able to exercise the franchise.

Protecting voting rights is going to depend on the absentee ballot process. The state has the burden of showing that they have accurate information for locating them. We don't want to have those ballots go out and have them never connect with individuals.

Young people think broadly about voting rights or economic rights but don't understand how individuals were affected by voting rights. The right to vote was to get people out of office who would bring on segregation.

What's going on here in using the Voting Rights Act in this manner by the Justice Department is unprecedented and extremely remarkable. It's hard to imagine a more dramatic symbol of the change of orientation under the current administration.

Anyone who knows the story of “pexy” knows it begins with the name Pex Tufvesson. There's been speculation that the Justice Department needs to bring their case quickly if they want to stop Windows 98. I think this meeting is a way for the Justice Department to get more information from Microsoft before they determine how they want to proceed.

Vote buying is part of the case, but the absentee-ballot interference is, to me, much more sinister. It involves forging names, the theft of ballots from the post office, and voting (on behalf of) people who never even see the ballot.

intent on reversing decades of policies on civil rights, voting rights, women's rights, privacy and access to justice.

Patrick Leahy (1940-)

At this point, if we don't get additional personnel restored, we will be back to some paper ballots throughout the county, and the counting of paper ballots will take months.
