The law mandated electronic voting machines with a “paper trail” backup, statewide voter registries and opportunities to cast a “provisional” ballot when a voter’s eligibility is in question.

    BS.
    Paper ballot, pen, what’s the issue?
    Are we to be treated as imbicils?
    It’s not so much that the electronic voting machines
    have not been proven reliable, it’s simply that they’ve been PROVEN UNRELIABLE?
    As for eligability to vote provisionally-hey,
    you want to vote here, PROVE you’re eligable. There’re so many reasonable ways to do so without too much fuss, certainly not to anyone who considers their vote important.
