Shellie Hornback: A little consideration, please By Shellie Hornback Personal commentary Please, they are drive-thrus, not stop- and-waits! Today, (again!) I went to Certacare and dropped my prescriptions off. I told the pharmacist I would return to pick my meds up. When I got back, there was a car in front of me. No big deal, you say ? They had turned their motor off !!! After waiting 5 minutes, I gave up and walked in. Please everyone, be considerate of other customers !! Drop your stuff off, and if nothing else, park in the PARKING LOT for a few minutes. Everyone will thank you. Just saying... --Shellie Hornback 2015-03-19 20:01:56 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

Dr. Arnold to seek patent on invention - secure voting machine There may or may not be a new Mayoral election in Columbia. That is now in the hands of the judiciary and a ruling is expected any time now. Regardless of the outcome of the court ruling on the November 4, 2015, election, one positive thing appears to be coming of the episode: Dr. Ben Arnold has designed a new voting machine utilizing both ROM (Read Only Memory) and WORM (Write Once, Read Many) technology, which he says will be tamper proof. Within this article he presents his numbers and contentions, have never been posted on ColumbiaMagazine.com but may have been reported in other news sources earlier, which he contends add up to 232 unaccounted for votes, enough to have made the difference in the election, he says. Whatever the outcome in court, Dr. Arnold said, in asking that this letter - sent to local media yesterday morning - be printed, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if this machine is accepted and we could manufacture it here in Columbia"? Click on headline for complete candidate news/commentary of writer article. Comments voiced within the limits of civil discourse, about issues, not persons, are welcome. By Dr. Ben Arnold Personal commentary This local election has been a learning experience on election law and voting machines. Having reviewed the world database of patents on voting machines and most commercial brochures, it appears there is no current voting machine that is totally accurate and secure from tampering. I have therefore been working for weeks on the design of a new and more secure voting machine and system. That design will soon be filed as a US Patent. Some of the key elements of its design come straight out of the occurrences in our local election. For example, no absentee votes were included in the total votes for Write-in and this was discovered just 3 days before the trial.
