Ha! You're assuming that they can read and
write in English. MANY of
them can't. A lot of them can't read or write ANY in any language. As far
as I'm concerned, if they can't figure out how to use a voting machine then
they have no business voting and their vote shouldn't count anyway.
I thought alfabetisation was a cornerstone of democracy... Or perhaps that was
communism. I can't remember.
Frustrated Florida taxpayer that will have to
help pay for all those
new voting machines,
Probably new-fangled Windows PCs with mice, which will be so much easier to
use.
