This should be done in every city across the country, and one of the nice things about the otherwise California gubernatorial debacle is that it can force the issue of the potentially riggable electronic voting machines on us a year before the '04 vote and maybe give us enough impetus and time to fix the problem before the Get Out Bush Vote in '04.
