It won't happen in our lifetimes. It may happen in European nations, but only because the average citizen does what he is told to do more so than American paranoids and individualists will do.
Just as we're forced to obey gun, drug and tax laws, why do you think "paranoids and individualists" will be any more successful in stopping some government forced electronic voting system? I expect that such various types of such proposals will be adopted within the next few years. As Josef Stalin so aptly remarked- "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything" Regards, Matt- ************************************************************************** Subscribe to Freematt's Alerts: Pro-Individual Rights Issues Send a blank message to: freematt@coil.com with the words subscribe FA on the subject line.
