Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler frets often about how worried he is that Colorado suffers from rampant voter fraud -- although he has yet to offer any proof.
So, what's Gessler doing to "protect" us against voter fraud? According to Denver's daily newspaper, he wants to reduce the security of electronic voting machines used in Colorado.
The machines Gessler wants to use provide no paper trail of how you or I vote. So, they're an open invitation to hacking -- or manipulation by the people who control them. Like our secretary of state.
Gessler wants to make it harder for groups he doesn't think will vote his way to vote at all. And he wants to make it easier for people running the system to hack the system. Of course, no one with control over an electronic machine whose results can't be audited would ever do that. Yeah, right.
I believe in separation of church and state. But I think Gessler's decision means we better pray our votes get counted. Let me modify that. We better pray our votes get counted correctly.
