Quote of the Day: Voting New Jersey Style

by: Jason Springer

Mon Dec 22, 2008 at 12:15:00 PM EST



We are poised to miss the deadline to have a Voter Verified Paper trail, and last week the Senate failed to pass the extension legislators were looking for. One of the questions has been whether machines would automatically be retrofitted as a result of inaction. Nia Gill summed up moving forward with current retrofitting plans:
"New Jersey, in New Jersey style, is one of the few states that has not decertified Sequoia machines," she said. "One of the few states in the nation. We don't only not decertify it, we're going to put an attachment on it that everybody knows doesn't work."
According to the article, the extension legislation that went down last week marked the first time a bill formally lost in Trenton in nearly five years.  I had no idea it had been that long and that should say something.

5 years! (4.00 / 2)
I was looking into my representatives voting records, and wondering where I could find the votes for anything that didn't pass. I guess I was looking in the right place after all.

Thanks for this link (0.00 / 0)
I was unaware of this page to look up voting records.

Thanks for staying on this issue Jason.

Check out my 3 paragraph primer on Polywell Fusion.

We Only Won A Battle: Not The War.... (0.00 / 0)
Sweeney/Sequoia is determined to neuter the effect of the earthquake that took place on the senate floor on the 11th.

He will try to simply use the rejection of one "fix" to implement another one.   This tactic is par for the "course" in Trenton and it will "succeed" if we progressives sit on our asses and allow him/the establishment to get away with it.   This needs to become a "front burner" issue for 2009!!!  When we fight back and shed light and offer better/cheaper   alternatives....we win.
