VOTING ALERT!!
California Pollworkers Told to Withhold Information from Voters
By mandate of the California Secretary of State, you have the legal right to request a paper ballot if you are concerned about the reliability of electronic voting machines. They must provide these ballots.
However, pollworkers in Santa Clara County -- that's San Jose, and the place where a goodly number of you out there in LJ land live -- are being unstructed specifically not to mention this to voters, and to provide paper ballots only upon specific request.
The rights you save could be your own!

But, dear gods, the hue and cry I hear over that horrid, wicked ambulance chaser, John Edwards...
But that's another rant for another day.
