Outrageous Florida Judges Say Voters Have no Right to a 'Perfect Voting System'

"A Democratic congressman who wants to add a paper trail to Florida's new voting machines lost another legal battle on Friday when a state appeals court agreed his lawsuit should be dismissed. But U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler is pursuing a similar complaint in federal court, arguing that the new touch-screen machines will not allow for an accurate manual recount -- like the one needed during the 2000 presidential election fiasco... The appeals court found that using a paperless voting system does not severely restrict the right to vote and that voters are not guaranteed 'a perfect voting system.'" Wexler didn't ask for "perfection" - just a paper trail that permits a recount. These judges should all be impeached!

1. Fair enough. How about one that counts all of the votes accurately and

works as well as a cheneying ATM machine? Is that too much to ask, cheneyers?

2. There go those left-wing activist judges again!

Let me get this straight... we have the right to cast a vote, but no right to expect it will actually be counted?

If a vote is cast, and no one is there to hear it...

4. Best possible voting system

Nobody's asking for perfection, just the best possible system we can get. Which ought to include paper ballots for recounts and an audit to ensure computers functioned properly. That's not perfection, that's common sense.
