Their delay tactics are going to hurt this state when it comes to election time!

The Republican Senators did not vote in "lock-step". Once again, Senator Tim Burchett voted to keep the Voter Confidence Act intact and on-track for 2010, the same position he has held consistently since 2008, unlike the other democracy-hating flip-floppers in his party. Senator Burchett continues to be the exception that proves the rule -- that rule being that most Tennessee Republican legislators want to keep tamper-prone and unverifiable voting machines in place in Tennessee, for as long as possible. Once they "win" the 2010 elections in a statewide sweep that will once again befuddle and confound political scientists nationwide (just as their winning the legislature in 2008 for the first time since Reconstruction by taking every open seat was aslo befuddling and confounding), they will insure that we never have trustworthy elections in Tennessee. It is clear that Senator Burchett marches to a different tune than his Republican Senate colleagues. From here, Burchett's tune sounds to me like "the Star-Spangled Banner". He should continue to enjoy all our respect, including the respect of his Senatr Democratic colleagues. Sledge is wrong on one count. The Republican Senators did not vote in “lock-step”.
