In
the face of a large number of problems with unverifiable,
inaccurate, and unreliable voting systems the state of New
Jersey is on the verge of making another decision to put-off
any requirement for a voter verified paper ballot. It was
originally supposed to happen on Jan. 1, 2008 but that date
was allowed to slip until Jan. 2009. Now the legislation is
about to change the date to sometime in 2010. Why? One
legislator claimed that refitted units were too complicated.
Why are they even thinking about refitting the junk they
have now? They need to scrap their unreliable voting system
and go a different direction....
