Regarding Bob Fitrakis's article on the Diebold (and other) Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting machines that the US Government is trying to foist on the American public.

It is very important to not get the wool pulled over our eyes by the term: "Paper-Trail".

The DRE machine does not normally leave any kind of evidence of what a single voter voted,...making a recount impossible.

Some think that we are able to eliminate the propensity for Vote-Fraud inherent in the DRE machine by requiring a "Paper-Trail",..ie...a print-out of th TouchScreen display.

This is a misleading deception,...for these paper-ballots are NOT used nor counted.

To make a Paper-"Trail" meaningful,....the Paper-Ballot the machine prints-out must be the Primary artifact that is actually hand-counted. The DRE's quick result MAY possible by used as NON-Official result while the OFFICIAL hand-counted Paper-ballot count is underway.

If you need any more info or explanation on thise EXTREMELY timely topic,...please contact me.

Truly,
Bob Donatelle
