  1. I was reading a thread on daily kos or one of the florida progressive blogs that was making alot of sense concerning this issue. Those posting were saying that Charlie is trying to slip something by in the form of a paper trail NOT a paper ballot. I can't remember exactly what it said but it was very clear. I can't find the thread currently and when I linked to it apparently I cut and pasted wrong because the link is incorrect, as well. I'm still searching it down. If it hadn't been a very well thought of blog I'd have paid it little attention but it was one of the biggies. I'm spending some time going through history to find it. Just wanted to comment on this before this rolls off the front page.
