Hey! We Resemble That Remark! (And so do some of you…)
The Nashville-based alt-weekly, the Nashville Scene, released their annual, “You are So Nashville If…” issue and one particular entry caught our eye and elicited a very audible groan:
You’ll trust your vote to a computer but would rather have Ping-Pong balls for your lottery numbers.
–Ilissa Gold
The back story is that while the committed Election Integrity activists of Tennessee’s Gathering to Save Our Democracy were breaking their necks trying to get our state legislators to recognize the inherent lack of integrity of our electronic voting machines, one such state rep was more concerned with the integrity of our lottery (read about Mumpower’s Balls).
Yeah, yeah. We know.
