BBV: Argggh...

Touch screen voting takes over countywide Tuesday

Tuesday's primary elections will mark a turning point in San Joaquin County's election procedures.

After its demonstration debut a year ago, the high-tech touch-screen voting machine officially will have its "first deployment countywide" and will be put to work for the first time.

A handful of these machines were placed in select precincts during the last election for demonstration purposes. It was an opportunity for interested voters to give the touch-screen machine a dry run.

1. Don't get discouraged...

(What, is this 'Chico and The Man'?)

Anyway, lots of us are energized on this issue. The ACLU of Texas is with ya. :thumbsup:

Y'all really need to get down here. League of Women Voters Forum on e-voting, April 7th. <hint>

2. I called the reporter

Educated her...and she is doing a follow up story. She was real interested and "had no idea".

7. I was accepted at UT.

My mom wasn't happy when I decided on A&M. It was further from home. If I had it to do over again, I would have picked a smaller school. I hated those huge classes.
