I am aching for a debate. I raised this issue from a Luddite perspective four months ago. I do not like the interposition of machines between the voter and the result. Senator Dardis said this is not a serious issue. I would have thought that the undermining of the confidence of the electorate in this State is a dangerous threat to democracy. Since this debate has opened up, I have been in constant receipt of additional information casting doubt on electronic voting. Yesterday it was said that in the Florida election one of those machines registered minus 30,000 votes.
