And the ACLU and League of Women Voters- well, mostly not the ones in the ranks, the LWV stance was uncharacteristically handed down from the top, not what the League usually does.

Look for connections in the leadership to monies connected to voting companies or associates, if you would.

By the way, the American Council for the Blind endorses certain machines, including Avante and Accupoll, both producing voter verified paper ballots.

The agrument usually goes like this: "The blind would have to have the ballot read back to them." Huh? The blind would have the same audio review as on other machines.

And voter verified paper ballots protect the disabled, too, because the people using those machines will act as a fraud deterent, because they can catch a machine that has one thing on the screen and another on the ballot. If the paper ballots aren't right, the machine can be pulled.

With a regualr DRE, no one KNOWS if the ballot is right or not. EVERYONE is at risk.

The DOJ came out with a ruling that the paper ballot machines are in compliance with the ADA Act and HAVA, if they have the audio capabilities, and they do.

Going without paper is like asking people to make buildings without stairs just because a few cannot use them, and must use an alternate method, the elevator.

If you get outside of these organizations and talk with the real people involved, most of them get it and don't even know who is talking on their "behalf."
