Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!

Paper Ballot! Paper Trail! II
Wednesday, July 11, 2007
Anonymous said... It's all semantics, isn't it? I mean, Vermont law requires a paper ballot. So what are you worried about? Monday, July 09, 2007
Haik Bedrosian said... No. It isn't all semantics. Law is fluid. I'd feel better were "Paper Ballot! Paper Trail!" imbedded in the VT and US Constitutions and the UN Charter for that matter, but it isn't. All we have is one little regular state law.
This is not a joke. This is urgent. As recently as last November, the congressional election in Florida's thirteenth district was stolen using paperless touch-screen "voting" devices. There is no recourse or possible way to audit the results. The result stood and the district will vote on paper next time. Paper.
I do not want my secretary of state contemplating any perceived "efficiencies" vis-a-vis paperless "voting." That's like considering the aesthetic improvement from rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
It is impossible to audit (truly audit) elections held using touch-screen or paperless devices. If it can't be audited, it can't be trusted. If it can't be trusted, the people can't have confidence and democracy is destroyed.
That's what I'm worried about. Wednesday, July 11, 2007
And that includes the optical scanners we use in Burlington. They are hackable, too.

Hello, There are a lot of misconceptions about our election system in Vermont. We do have paper ballots, but that is not assurance that the votes are being counted properly. You see, the ballots go into a Diebold scanner, which converts the paper ballot into an electronic vote. From that point on, we are going on blind faith. The secret software code on the scanners could be doing ANYTHING with our votes and we would never know. What we need is hand-count AUDITS which would check the accuracy of the scanners. Vermonters for Voting Integrity is a group of activist trying to raise awareness about this. Our website is http://solarbus.org/vtvoters. Please check us out. Until we get audits, it is as if we are giving all our ballots to Diebold and asking them who won, without any means to verify that they're telling us the truth. This is not right.
