187. Anytime someone calls this piece of paper a "receipt"
?While Diebold is certainly capable of producing receipt printers, we currently have no plans to manufacture receipt printers primarily because our customers haven?t requested it.?

I want to scream.

A "receipt" you take home with you.
A "paper ballot" you put in a ballot box.

I noticed tonight that even Rush Holt calls this damn piece of paper a receipt.

As long as the * cabal can get a sufficient number of people to think of this piece of paper as a "receipt", they are assured that a certain % of voters will walk out of their polling place with it (hell, we all know that's what you do with receipts). It will then be impossible to validate (or invalidate) the electronic totals because the so-called "paper trail" will be incomplete.

And on top of that, rest assured, no state committed to DRE is going to have a chance in hell to count all those damn paper "receipts". Rush Holt's bill does not appear to address the equipment requirements to count these "receipts" in any way at all. States are going to be stuck with piles of paper, the losers (dems) are going to be screaming, and there will be no recount.

Mark my words.
