The history of the Luddites is actually quite interesting.
"the Luddites were anything but technophobes: they were skilled high-tech workers whose seven-year apprenticeships were the equivalent to getting a Master's in Engineering from MIT.

We actually use paper ballots in WA, because the whole state said fuck it and went mail-in ballot years ago. It's old tech and has its own problems, but it works.
But with hand marked paper ballots there is the possibility of a recount, and indeed there should always be at least a partial hand recount to confirm results.

If he is such a devout xtian, then why does he NOT want to go to heaven?
I immediately thought of Colossus: the Forbin Project.
Agreed.

That's the exact system we use both federally and provincially up here in Canada.
She obviously never paid attention to any other presidential election - it ALWAYS takes a few days.

Never in history have more conceited white men been more publicly in love with the sound of their own voices.
Forget the $50 and cut out the middleman. Whiskey for true and accurate voting.
