Well, if I'm too lackadaisical to do anything today...

I'll point out somebody who isn't. In comments to yesterday's post about the flaws of electronic voting, Melanie is urging you to write to Diebold. From their website:

"If you have further questions regarding our services in the election industry, please call us toll free to speak with a Diebold representative.

"U.S.A.: 1-800-433-VOTE (8683)

'Or you can e-mail us at susan@dieboldes.com "

Hey, it wouldn't hurt. Personally, I can't see the big deal with is with Congress getting some common sense and passing a bill clearly stipulating that all voting machines need to have a verified paper trial in order to be legal. Has the political climate in this country become so partisan that even non-partisan legislation like this wouldn't be able to pass?
