Down with voting machines

I want to thank Secretary of State Debra Bowen for decertifying voting machines that might be faulty.

Touchscreen machines are vulnerable to tampering. That's what computersecurity experts concluded in the "toptobottom" review she convened. I'm glad they won't be used to count my vote.

Our Founding Fathers didn't use electronic voting machines and many democracies around the world still use paper ballots. Paper ballots got us George Washington. Electronic voting machines got us George W. Bush. We all know what a disaster that's been. Wendy Gladwin Agoura Hills
