Pumps' Perplexities

We are fighting in Iraq and there are some people who
believe that their society is still in the Middle Ages.....
Perhaps one thing is - their voting system.....Simple as
"all get out"....

First there is a paper ballot......Second there is a
"purple" finger, after you vote.......Now if you count the
paper ballots and number them, then no one can vote
twice because they already have a "purple" finger it
appears that the Seventh Century has some benefits
to it.....

Today every time someone found a "hanging chad",
it was time to change the system to avoid any possible
future errors.......Well we now have electronic voting
with all its "hacking" and "glitch" problems......May
it is about time to return to paper, pencil and "purple"
finger......Pumps

Editor's Note: Well it has happened again....While the
above "blog" was drafted on Nov. 4th for posting today,
I woke up this morning to find out that Nancy Giles
had an "opinion piece" on the CBS Sunday Show.....Topic,
paper ballots and "purple" fingers......It appears that
while we had the same thought, she got paid for her's....
