Provide a verified paper ballot for every vote cast in electronic voting machines;
Set a uniform standard for provisional ballots, so that every qualified voter within the state will know their votes are treated equally and will be counted; and
Require the Federal Election Assistance Commission to issue standards that ensure uniform access to voting machines and election personnel in every community. (From Hillary's email)
I know I haven't written much about politics lately. Frankly, I haven't really been paying much attention. We rid ourselves of our satellite since I felt we were watching too much TV, especially Joe. Therefore, I don't get near as riled up about the jackasses on cable news networks anymore, which makes for a much happier Robin (and Bill).
"What about radio?" you ask. Well, I've been needing a bit more than NPR to wake me in the a.m. these past few weeks, so I've been listening to some great rock and roll instead, which also makes for a much happier Robin (and Bill).
Still, we did manage to catch the "House of Saud" episode of Frontline on PBS last night, which I definitely recommend for those who'd like to learn more (from various points of view) on the relationship between the U.S. and the Saudis, religion and business in the Middle East, and the lives of women under fundamentalist oppression.
