It amazes me that the wingers have been able to paint the court decision as halting the California recall, not postponing it (as opposed to Florida, of course, where an election actually was halted).

But it worries me that the effect of the decision would be to install more electronic voting machines, not fewer. Equal opportunity theft isn't my idea of a win for democracy.

I'd rather have the ACLU suing to bring the entire process to a halt until an audit trail can be put in place for precincts that already have electronic voting machines. Not just for California, but for 2004. If the ACLU did that, I bet they'd see their membership double in about a week.

A "classic win the battle, lose the war" thing, eh?
