Venezuelan machines were programmed to produce a paper trail: after each vote, a paper ballot is printed, inspected by the voter, and deposited in a cardboard ballot box. If they can do it why can't the US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if this has been posted here or not, but this article about Venezuela seems particularly appropriate right now. http://www.usnews.com/usnews/opinion/baroneweb/mb_040820.htm

Ours are all paper ballots, and we number the boxes in the order we want them.

9. In Canada we make an "X" on the candidate we vote for. |
|
We only vote for the candidates in registered parties,usually four or five candidates. Liberal,Conservative are the liberal and conservative parties. NDP are the socialist,Green is green, Marxist and Leninist and Communist are communist. Nice and simple.
