Don't Tamper With Ballot Boxes, Just Disenfranchise

RECEIVED Tue., Feb. 24, 2004

Dear Editor,
   It was not mentioned in your article that neither paper nor electronic votes are immune to the kind of tampering the Republicans did in the 2000 presidential election in Florida ["How Safe Is Your E-Vote?" News, Feb. 20]. If you want to influence an election, you don't mess with the ballots. Rather, like the Republicans, you disenfranchise large numbers of voters themselves.
