TN Supreme Court brief filed: paperless voting is unconstitutional

Some of you who have been part of the Election Reform forum here for a while are well aware of David Mills. David filed suit last year against the Shelby County Election Commission on the grounds that paperless voting is unconstitutional and a state that allows both paper-based voting (e.g., optical scan ballots) and paperless voting (e.g., DREs) has a "separate and unequal" voting system.

Though David's arguments are compelling, he has yet to receive a hearing on the merits of his case, with lower courts stating that he has no grounds to file his suit. As a Tennessee voter, David obviously has such grounds, which is why he has appealed his case to the Tennessee Supreme Court.

This link http://dragonflihost.net/Election_Brief_SC.pdf will take you to David's brief. It is exceptionally well-written and well-argued; and its main points would be relevant in any other state where these same issues apply (that is to say, most other states). Please pass this on to any election fraud attorneys that you may know.

We have the same problem in Florida where we have both systems. How can you have equal protection under the law, where some people get a real ballot and other people get ether?

I heard he had filed but I hadn't heard the results. I wish they had never taken away the old lever machines. Everyone was upset with the new touch screen machines during the primaries. Everyone from the poll workers to the voters didn't like them yet here we are voting on the paperless tools of the neocons.

They let so much slide these days--habeus corpus, geneva conventions, etc.

I would think EVERY Tennessee voter has a standing on this issue.

isn't that what they're supposed to decide

WTF?
:shrug:

... all voters are robbed of their vote in an equal manner, and therefore it would be constitutional.

... to David's initial suit. Of course, our SEC is an inside salesman for Diebold.

If we can't get our courts to act, we damn sure will get the people to.
