 Let's 
be clear. The SOS came out in support of receipt.  He is going to have to 
have some committee research this.  But this isn't a done deal 
yet. 
There 
are plenty of folks in election admin against this, but the press has gotten 
ahold of this and is giving alot of air time to it.  Our own security 
issues have not helped the "crackpots".  For counties where the feds have 
dictated languages, we need the touch screen.  But clearly OS is the way to 
go for some counties.  I'll just remind you of the "internet" issue 3-4 
years ago.  Until they put together the committee at the SOS level, it 
sounded like they would go full steam into this, but once people were educated, 
they backed off.  We still may have that opportunity. 
I 
hope.
