What a whitewash!!! What about making voting systems secure and auditable? No that would be too much WORK and rock the boat of the faith based system that we now have. Please excuse me while I go throw up. This is not aimed at you, Glenn. It just annoys the hell out of me how a commission like this completely sidesteps the issues of potential voter rigging with a system that uses proprietary software that is not disclosed and insecure tabulating systems. The one comment is an aside and will probably not result in any changes. To me the actual integrity of the voting systems is the main issue. All they are interested in is improving the quality of the pretense. Voting as a performance art.

Based on this, I would say Jimmy Carter is getting -- senile or -- used or never was what I thought he was. It's one thing to identify a person, so that you can ensure one person = one vote. It's another thing to EXCLUDE a person by charging him/her for the privilege of his own citizenship. And it's yet another thing to DEFRAUD a person by having voting systems with software "backdoors" that can be easily hacked (by the people with the "key") or even others without the key! If ALL of this is not dealt with UNIFORMLY on a National basis, WITH audit trails and administered NOT by political parties the whole thing is just a NATIONAL DISGRACE AND SHAM. And that's where we are, right now. Namaste! Jim
