RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Time off from work to vote

["Spurling, Shannon" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I prefer the Sharpie.
It's more difficult to hack and the results are fairly permanent.
How about a voting machine with write once proms. Then you take the chip
and drop that in the box. I wonder if you would end up having lawyers
complaining about hanging bits.... :-)

i can't believe that in the 2004, i used a sharpie marker and a piece of

paper to pick the leader of the free world.  you would think by now, we 
would have some form of stable electronic voting system nation wide.  
come on, we can land a guy on the moon and probe mars....but i still 
need to use a sharpie to vote?
