Imagine trying to work our punch-card ballot if that was not the case. Joe, take it out of your partisan framework for a moment. I've tried to find out from the WV SecState's office how many spoiled ballots happened in which races, and in which counties, to see if there is a correlation with the voting system. They don't collect that statistic. There are a lot of things that can be done to improve the voting system.
Machines are one thing.
Funds for voter education, pollworker pay and training, etc. are another. You wouldn't get Newt Gingrich and David Bonior on the same side of any issue that promised partisan benefit to one side or the other. All rights reserved.
