All Paper Ballots this year
Sen. Ken Gordon, the co-chairman of a task force looking at the election issues, said instead, legislators and county clerks have decided to use paper ballots.
"The decision that has pretty much been made is it's going to be paper, and it's going to be the same in every county," Gordon said today, after a lunchtime meeting with the Senate's Democratic caucus, where he updated his colleagues on the election issues.
Still to be decided is whether those paper ballots will be filled out at polling places or delivered exclusively through the mail. Gordon said today that 44 county clerks are in favor of an all-mail-ballot election, while eight clerks, including those from Denver, El Paso and Pueblo counties, are against it.
Reminds me of hearing an interview with some lady about voting machines. She was complaining that the testing done on them didn't represent real world situations. WTF?!??!?? The whole point of testing is that you don't assume things will be used exactly and only as you anticipated. In that case of voting machines it's important for them to be 100% accurate. If one doesn't test for these alleged non real world situations, one can't be sure that they they're 100% accurate.
Which leads into her other claim, that they haven't had any problems with the machines. That's a complete load of crap. There is now way to know with any kind of certainty that you have not had problems without good testing. They only know that they haven't noticed any problems.
