Our democracy is too important to leave in the hands of machines. These touchscreen machines produce no audit trail -- no paper trail -- so there’s no possible way to ensure that your vote will count, or that it was ever counted. These machines are un-American. I'm not saying that we didn't have a fair election, what I'm saying is that there is no way we'll ever know. THEY choose our leader -- they decide and will not be questioned. The great and powerful all mighty machines have spoken. Самые лучшие сумки купить широкий ассортимент сумок.

I voted on one of these touchscreen machines. I pressed my way through the 16 electronic pages. I reviewed my choices and pressed the flashing red vote button. I waited for something more to happen and when nothing did, I walked away feeling empty. I walked up to the help desk with a friendly face and asked for help, "hi" I said, "I didn't get a receipt, did I do something wrong?" And then with a stupid smirk she handed me a sticker, "I Voted Touchscreen."
