Florida likely to ban paperless voting systems


The proposal, made as part of the state's budget process, would pay for 100 percent of the conversion, would only allow touchscreen system for disabled voters and for early voting, and would upgrade those systems to include a paper trail. The move is a setback for paperless polling machines and a rejection of the contention by former governor Jeb Bush, brother of U.S. President George W. Bush, that touchscreen systems are reliable.

I'm pleased to learn that the someone has finally come to their senses! And Jeb is GONE!
