Gnarlie,

Your attempt to twist this into a partisan bash is not appropriate!

As for my caution regarding "Bev Harris" (not K. Harris), anyone can spend
the same 45 minutes I did using Google - there's plenty to read.  I
carefully avoided stating any specifics.  But anyone that's been around
understands that people sometimes have hidden agendas while pretending to be
neutral.  I have a real concern based upon my reading.  YMMV

As for electronic voting, there have been hundreds of well researched papers
by highly qualified people warning about the premature push into EV, even
without considering connecting to the internet.  No need to rehash that
here.  Let's just hope for the best.

My last comment to the list.

//Jack
