Why is it that the new touch-screen voting machines in Kentucky have no documentation or receipt to issue the voter? It is a very unsettling feeling to know that your vote could be manipulated or hacked without your knowledge and no record of your vote could be retrieved as happened in Ohio during the last Presidential election. There have been numerous problems and system failures with the new touch-screen machines nation-wide which have resulted in erroneous vote counts. This will be the last election we will be allowed to use both the old and new machines. Employees at the county courthouse say the Federal government require we use the new touch-screens and no paper receipts will be issued. If you are not out of town on election day you will not be allowed to vote via the absentee ballot. I wonder how this would go over if Bill Clinton were president and democrats were in charge of all branches of government? After the questionable way Bush was appointed President in 2000 and the many questions surrounding touch-screen voting errors in 2004 I would think the government would go out of their way to assure voters that their political choices are secure. That does not seem to be the case with the new machines. If an administration that doesn't understand the difference between a surplus and a deficit, "mission accomplished" "or stay the course," how does anyone have confidence that they can count votes accurately?
They have a vested interest in muddying the waters and suppressing the votes of certain groups when it comes to elections. Knowing their well documented proclivity for lying and criminal political activities I don't trust Republicans with my vote.
