Snakes bellies and name calling



This is getting pathetic ...

Al Kolwicz, who was there, is known by me to be very specific, detailed,
accurate, and technically careful.  If his insistence on high standards from
public officials rubs them the wrong way, that shouldn't be mistaken for
pointless badgering.

Look, either the ballot barcodes are alike on multiple ballots, in which
case they may identify ballot styles, or else they are unique per ballot, in
which case they individuate voters.  I can't see Al confusing one situation
for the other.

Now, just because YOU have no problem with your ballot being individually
serialized, does not make it right or legal.  I can find someone who doesn't
have a problem with paperless electronic DREs, that doesn't make it right or
legal.  I can find someone who doesn't have a problem with voting on
Microsoft Internet Explorer, or by touch-tone phone; your acquiescence to
inferior vulnernerable voting systems doesn't make them right or legal.  It
merely identifies your poor grasp of the implications and inability to
intelligently comprehend the consequences.  Just because you can't figure it
out, doesn't justify name calling.

 Idealism may not win every contest, but that's not what I choose it for!
