Nolte - You Up for Another Run? [And Question for Deeth!]
Nolte - You Up for Another Run?
By Sam Garchik Popular Progressive had this first, then Deeth, then Iowa Progress. It's a week old by the time I got it, but hey. Greiner is leaving and Nolte, a one-time and hopefully future BFIA contributor, should run again. Also, I voted during the SILO election, and because things were going kind of slow at the polling place, I used the new machine! This was a pretty cool thing. It's not a Diebold - there's a paper trail and all, and you have two opportunities to change your vote one you actually vote. So yeah, I went back and forth on the SILO, and the machine kept a paper trail of EVERYTIME I changed my vote. I was pretty happy with how the thing was set up. Deeth - you got an idea as to the merits of this machine? Also, anyone else out there know anything about these gizmos?

Equipment isn't really my area of expertise or interest so I can't really comment.
Speaking strictly for myself, I think other issues - especially election day voter registration - are more important, and i worry that the obsession with electronic machines is taking energy away from progress on other voting issues. deeth Trackbacks
