"Progressives"

It looks like Cuyahoga county is going back to paper ballots because they can't seem to get their act into the the 21st century.

This a great case study in the differences between "progressives" and "conservatives".

It was the "progressives" that first complained that paper ballots weren't an adequate voting system and disenfranchised the poor.

Then it was the "progressives" who run Cuyahoga county that can seem to make the transition into the new voting machines like the rest of Ohio's 87 counties.

Now after months of time and millions of dollars, it's the "progressives" that claim they need to go back to the old way of voting.

And "conservatives" just sat back and said "there was noting wrong with the old way in the first place".

"conservatives" are for status quo while "progressives" are for progress. I can live with that definition.
