PAPER BALLOTS
by Douglas H. And Carol S. Lovely
November 7, 2006
At precinct 02 Mount Calvary Baptist Church, Marietta, GA 30064, my wife and I ask for a paper ballot in order to vote today. We were denied a paper ballot by the person in charge of the precinct. I ask why? He said, "Georgia law. You have to use the electronic voting machine." I ask him to show me the law refusing me the right to a paper ballot. He could not.
While I was in line, waiting to vote electronically he approached me with a pink sheet of paper informing me that no paper ballots were to be given to voters. The pink sheet of paper had no official letterhead, signature, and only two paragraphs alluding to this fact. I ask. May I keep this? He said. "No." I ask for a copy. He said. "We have no copying machines available."
We had no choice. We had to vote electronically
In GOD we trust.
