What a crock!!

Secretary of state's act worrisome for election



We must have fair and honest elections. But throwing the system into chaos is no way to guarantee that. Some counties will be forced to return to paper ballots read by automated counters -- which also can be manipulated. There is greater opportunity for fraud with paper ballots being carted from place to place than there is in using a computer system kept under constant watch.

Given the skepticism about touch-screen voting, a top-to-bottom review is a good thing. But it should have been done systematically, comprehensively, cautiously and with the help of county registrars. That's not what happened. The result was a flawed process vulnerable to lawsuits and, worse, election day chaos.

Bowen worked hard to make this poor decision. Now, after creating an uproar in 20 counties, she must work even harder to help establish credible voting systems in time for the presidential primary. If she can't, and California's primary turns into a Florida-style debacle, Bowen will deserve the blame.

Fraud is possible no matter what but PLEASE. This is a load of horse shit.
