EZ VOTE.COM

I cannot believe that states are still leaning toward paperless voting and not moving to the Oregon example of voting by mail. I am of the impression that my vote is at least as important as buying beer and pretzels at 7-11, but for some reason the states with paperless voting cannot provide a detailed receipt? I can get a detailed dated and timed receipt for my 7-11 purchase but not for my vote for the most important office in the USA?
I try to stay away from "conspiracy theories", but if Diebold can give me a dated receipt for my ATM withdrawal, then they can issue me a detailed receipt for my vote. The only reason I can see why they won't, is that the Diebold CEO is a Bush supporter, a Pioneer level donor to his election campaigns, and was quoted as saying he would do anything to get Bush re-elected. We report, you decide.
