That is, of course, a tremendous victory. Particularly in Florida. Particularly from a previously “ardent supporter of touch-screen voting systems” as he admits in the video.<\/p>\n

“If voters don’t have confidence in their voting systems, what do they have confidence in?” Browning smartly asks. To which we say, “Kudos!”<\/p>\n

His statements dovetail smartly with new FL Republican Governor Charlie Crist’s recently announced initiative<\/a> to replace all DRE\/touch-screen sysaskems in Florida with optical-scan, paper-based systems (though not for early voting or disabled voters, but we’ll take what we can for now).<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Browning’s “exhaustion” is a victory for you and democracy! Congratulations all! Keep up the good work! There are many out there who still need to be exhausted!<\/p>\n

Now if we could just get the Democrats<\/i><\/a> and some of their knee-jerk supporters<\/a> out there to see the same light, perhaps we’d be closer to do the day when we can finally declare: “Touch-Screen Voting – Game Over!”<\/p>\n
