Paper Trail Voting
(Tune: "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean")
Lyrics by Vicki Ryder, ©2005
(Updated for 2008)
I think that I recently voted
But I can't say that I know for sure,
'Cause I used a touch-screen contraption
So I don't know who I voted for.
Chorus:
I pressed for "A"; it came up "B"!
And thousands of votes are lost that way.
We want to see a paper trail
And that's why we're raging today!
Computers are known for their glitches;
Of that there can be no real doubt.
And it's easy for any old hacker
To change the way voting turns out.
Dump those electronic machines!
Paper trail voting's the only way!
We Grannies are wise
To the tricks and the lies,
And that's why we're raging today!
We think that it's awfully ironic
To bring voting reform to Iraq,
When we can't get it right in our own town!
Electronic machines are a crock!
Dump those electronic machines!
Paper trail voting's the only way!
We really care that elections are fair,
And that's why we're raging today!
