Ohio & Black Box Voting

.::BELMONT COUNTY, OH::.

Ohio voters planning to use the revolutionary touch-screen technology can likely forget it - at least for this year. A legislative committee says voters who use electronic machines should be able to confirm their choices with a paper receipt. Because the current voting boxes do not offer that option, the board has ordered Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell to cancel $128 million worth of Ohio voting machine contracts.

Congrats to all the Ohioians who understand that democracy ceases to exist when we stop participating in it!
