Maryland Governor Wants Paper Ballots

supabeast! writes, "Fed up with all the problems in the state's electronic voting system, Maryland Governor Robert Erlich wants the state to scrap the entire system and return to paper ballots. He's threatened to call a special session of the legislature to change the law to allow paper ballots. What makes this particularly interesting is that Erlich is a Republican — the party often maligned for exploiting flaws in electronic systems — and his attempts to clean up Maryland's voting problems are being opposed by Democrats, the party that is usually complaining about electronic voting!"

Re:Pudge, please look up malign in the dictionary

You lose, sorry. Let me refresh your obviously deficient memory. This is what you stated: 'There's nothing "false" necessarily or even usually implicated by the use of the word "malign." Not sure where you get that from, but it wasn't a dictionary.'

You managed to find a dictionary that got you out of "necessarily." I will concede that point. I put that in because you had used that word, and the first three dictionaries I happened to look at online include it as a necessary part of the defintion. But usually? When most of the dictionaries referenced by me or you include falsehood as part of the definition, it's a safe bet that that is the accepted useage. Are you at least capable of conceding you were wrong on that point?

My favorite part is where you say, "Not sure where you get that from, but it wasn't a dictionary." Obviously, I got it directly from not one, but three dictionaries. You have been proven completely wrong on that point, though I'm beginning to suspect you are incapable of admitting it.
