So I can bang my head on it.
A week after the primary election was plagued by human error and technical glitches, Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) called yesterday for the state to scrap its $106 million electronic voting apparatus and revert to a paper ballot system for the November election.
“When in doubt, go paper, go low-tech,” he said.Ehrlich said that, if necessary, he would call a special session of the Maryland General Assembly to change the law to allow paper ballots.
The Republican Governor’s call comes after hearings today to investigate Maryland’s primary election meltdown on September 12th.
Ehrlich had called for paper ballots last February. The Democratic MD House supported the initiative in a 137 to 0 vote. The Democratic Senate let the bill die without a vote before ending their session.
I don’t have enough snark in my arsenal to comment properly on this. I’m going to go to my room and scream “fuck” a few hundred times now…
