Not everybody likes Gilbert's take on voting machines.

Gilbert will do anything to have touchscreen voting machines, even if it means making it harder for folks to get to the polls.

(His Vote Center Idea)
Reduce precincts from 159 down to 40, let folks traverse across town.

Well, at least Guilford County can keep on spending tons of money on new gadgest all of the time.

No car?
Disabled?
Traffic bad?

Tough - for you, you are just the voter.
This is all about George Gilbert, and his convenience.

How dare the citizens have the gall to want to have verified elections or a paper ballot that can actually be recounted?

Heck, if there was any question, then the BOE would have to do a recount!
That would be alot of work!

We can't have that, taxpayers owe this man a living.
