That’s nice. You forget that I was there. These ballots are at the printers now. Wednesday was the
last date to be on the ballot. If there is going to be ballot counting it is
going to be on the ballots that the county printed and used. This election takes place on the 29th of January.
Time is short. We work with what we have. Paul

December 2007 Paul... What Al is talking about
below, in terms of ballot format, is how the Swiss have voted for many
years... Joe Pezillo and I have
lots of actual Swiss ballot samples, which Al is describing below. They
are from the Swiss gentleman who visited Boulder a few
years ago. You may remember the
Swiss gentleman who gave a public talk about the Swiss voting system at the
Boulder Public Library, which Joe and I
organized. His name was Beat Fehr, the talk was on Monday,
3 January 2005. He was also interviewed
on KGNU by Sam Fuqua for 30 minutes on Weds. 5 Jan. 2005. I believe the
library talk was the front page story in the Daily Camera the next day,
but the Camera website does not find it... from I can find right
now. John Caldara also wrote a
column about the talk, in the Camera, which he attended... The key to the Swiss
ballot is that it is sized to be used in the currency counting machines, which
all banks use to count paper bills. Each contest is on one
unique piece of paper, you separate out the votes for A, B and C in the
contest, and run them through the currency counter, and
total the votes for each candidate. I will be happy to share
some of these samples with you to show around... Peter Richards Boulder On Sat, 29 Dec 2007

writes: Paul, One suggestion. For the fastest and most verifiable hand
count, use a ballot that has one contest per page, and then use the sort and
count method to count the votes. Each CONTEST should be a different color
or corner cut. Make separate stacks for each CONTESTANT, and OVER, UNDER,
and AMBIGUOUS votes for each contest. If you have only one contest, you have it made. If your clerk decides to use the HART scanners anyway, demand
increased auditing. Demand a 100% hand count as the only way to verify
the count made by the uncertified equipment. Al Al Kolwicz Colorado Voter Group 2867 Tincup Circle Boulder, CO 80305 303-494-1540 www.coloradovotergroup.blogspot.com From: Paul Tiger
