possibly.  it may be a bit too stiff, but you'll have to try it.  if it is too stiff 
cutting holes
in it so there is less surface/less cork should help to a point.  it's something you 
have to
determine empirically by trial and error, unless you have accelerometers and other 
test gear around
to measure things with (i don't, but trial and error works pretty well for this, 
particularly with a
little experience).  oddly enough the vinyl could be very good as well.  with the 
rubber grommets
it's important not to tighten the screws too much, you want things to stay squishy and 
not be so
compressed that they become hard and stiff.  you might even try cutting the grommets 
in half and
using one or both halves.  if it were more stable corrugated cardboard would work very 
nicely.

yes, that's usually one of my problems....  though i'm creative enough i get some use 
from having
assorted "junk" around, but the floor can only support so much and boxes only stack so 
high...  the
"mine field" warning tape is just so tempting...

Why are republicans afraid of the U.N. observing our elections?  Do U.S. citizens 
deserve less than
those of other

citizens still
have the option of
using a paper ballot, if they ask.  I urge all voters to demand the right to vote on 
paper and
create an auditable
election.  There is something fundamentally wrong when voting machines are designed to 
not provide
any physical record of votes.
