QoTD: Rush Holt

by: Rosi Efthim

Mon Feb 08, 2010 at 10:58:00 AM EST



From Star Ledger's editorial this morning calling for voting machines that can produce a paper record of the vote, a physical record which can be checked against the tally of the voting machine's computer. Quoting Rep. Rush Holt:

Otherwise, in the words of Rep. Rush Holt (D-12th Dist.), "we have faith-based voting."

Holt Nails This Issue..... (0.00 / 0)
...it strikes me as obscenely bizarre that every elected in the state hasn't been running around with their "hair on fire" demanding a switch to cheaper to buy and cheaper to operate and cheaper to maintain optical scanners that actually provide a voter verifiable paper trail.

What we have now is nothing but electronic/magnetic marks on a tape/cartridge......nothing humanly visible/tangible.   Anyone with the means and the criminal intent can fix our elections.   Billions of dollars worth of cashflow are at stake.......yet no one (except Rush Holt and, when pressed,  some progressive members of the legislature) in power seems to give a shit.

Why is that?  Eh?

Is it just pay to play for Sequoia (the existing contractor) or something far more insidious (or both?); either way it's filthy dirty.
