      In the article from Utah above two voters give their opinions of the Diebold voting “solution”.

      “It’s a lot better than any punch ballot,” Tracy said. “It’s easy to use, it’s straightforward, and because there’s a printout, you know there’s a record.”

      Don’t worry, Be Happy Utah!

      “You can’t cheat, you can’t steal “” the machines are smarter than we are,” she said. “The whole thing is really exciting.”

      Don’t worry, Be excited Utah!

      Joseph Demma assures us there will be “hundreds” of Diebold employees on hand if anything gets counted correctly goes wrong.

      Zipity Do Dah, Zipity Aa.
      My oh my, what a beautiful day!

      I had to reprint this quote so I could defend most of the people of Utah who are not represented by it. It was incredibly easy to get 347 signatures from them against the machines! There were only two people I talked to who said they thought they were a good idea!
