Paper Ballot Bill Among Those that Clear Legislature in Final Hours
By Susan Montoya Bryan/
Associated Press
SANTA FE --
Lawmakers approved a flurry of bills in the final hours of the session
that ended Thursday, including a measure that would impact voters
across the state by requiring all counties to use paper ballot
systems.
Voters would fill in spaces on the ballots for the candidates they
wanted, then feed ballots into a tabulation machine.
Gov. Bill Richardson advocated the system, saying it would help
rebuild public confidence in elections.
House Voters and Elections Chairman Edward Sandoval, D-Albuquerque,
said the nation was built on the public's right to vote and have those
votes count.
The bill "will make people feel more comfortable that their vote does
count and it won't be lost or go someplace else,'' he said.

They don't need to. It's the Democrats they're worried about.

If that were so they wouldn't be going to paper.

Agree.
I wonder if any other states will have the guts to let their voters'
choices be known.
