Re: touchscreen voting to be used in Venezuela

["Joe Pezzillo" <jpezzillo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can't wait to see the spin on this, "Venezuela MUST use verifiable 
voting, but not US"...

We've got such a strong record of exporting democracy and human rights 
these days, maybe we'll just invade to force them to use paper ballots?

Oh yeah, that and their oil...

Besides, there's nothing to worry about there, a real dictatorship 
would use the courts to decide who will run the country and then let 
corporations control everything...
