Sorry – couldn’t think of a better title. Here’s from a primary voter down south:
SOUTH CAROLINA: First the bad news. I just came back from voting in the SC Republican Primary. All they had was the ES&S electronic voting machines. I asked if a paper ballot was an option and was told, “No”. I told the poll worker I don’t trust these machines and she just smiled. After voting I said do I get a receipt, and the same poll worker actually laughed and said “No”, but I could have a sticker saying “I Voted”. Gee, thanks.
PS: Exit polls for South Carolina in 2004 had Bush winning by a 7.1% margin. The electronic vote gave Bush a 17.1% margin – a full 10% red shift.
