Under the circumstances you present. The voting is vanity!

What this?

Voting is not vanity? There just needs to be measures in place and honest citizens who care enough to prevent problems.

The "man" who "sits" the ballots up in the touch screen -or- scanner electronic voting machines can also sit up the out come of the election. It's been proven by very reputable sources. Some of these sources has already been posted here on Blairsvillcity.

Just because Lie mar don't know how to do it, doesn't mean it's not done!

When Lie mar becomes a liability to those who "are", rather than an asset, he is history! That day can't come soon enough.

Why there are not individuals bold enough to demand paper ballots, I don't know

Sometime ; Liemar has some on the payroll using tax money , that do no good service to the public ; they only serve Liemar .

Ask for titles and job descriptions.

To really ensure that the election process is fair and above the taint of corruption, federal law should require that the source code for the voting machines is opened up. If the code is not made entirely public, which would be best, then it should be opened up for expert study and review, with any findings published. Australia's voting machines run completely open source code that has been publicly audited; even better, the machines themselves run on Linux, an open source operating system.

Certain changes in election machines and election law are definitely required. We had the chad problem with the old machines. What needs to happen is better security, not going back to manual systems.

After you vote on an electronic machine, it should print your choices on a piece of paper that is placed into a locked box. If a problem arises and a candidate requests a recount, those slips of paper are there for verification.

We're gonna get him sometimeman, we're slowly breaking him down. He'll eventually see that we're right about Liemar!

[sometimeman]

Yes sir Mr. SHort. He's showing signs like you'd expect from a normal human. He might have run low on beer money and is sobering up a bit. But I sure do like him posting that way!

You are on the right track as to a paper ballot back up but much more refining needs to be done as well.

Remember that the Board Of Elections in this county is controlled by the Local Governing Authority, i.e. Lamar Paris. Only the BOE decides as to verification of ballots and their accuracy.

Further, you cannot rely on the Secretary Of States Office to intervene when a problem arises, been there, done that, they only will defer to the local BOE which is basically is owned by Lamar Paris.

As to a "locked box", you should see what they used in the past, a plywood box with a lock that belonged in a childs' Erector Set with a lid piano hinged with exposed screws attaching the hinge. Any ape could gain entry in less than a minute and never touch the lock. Serious caution must be used regarding who controls that box. The BOE? Lets' hope not.

You may not have been here in the late 90s, but I remember that for some reason that was never fully explained that it took well over two hours for the Owltown precinct to arrive at the Courthouse from the polls. This is a 5 mile trip. Even Suches was way way ahead of them.

A simple check of ballots say from one precinct chosen at random would do wonders to check for errors and improve voter confidence.

Yes, you are correct, we definitely need a secure system of voting but it will never happen under the current Union County Board Of Elections Act. Change must begin there.

Ape--Thanks for giving a little.
