MARGARET WARNER: Well, what's your evidence that the American people don't have confidence in it now?

JAMES BAKER: Well, just look at polls. There's still a lot of questions out there on the part of the people. As the president indicated, a lot of people don't think their votes are going to be adequately counted or accurately counted. Many people fear fraud on the other side and many people fear there's a denial of access.

And what this report does, frankly, in our opinion, is to hopefully eliminate the sterile debate that we have had in this country for so many years between the advocates of ballot integrity on the one hand and the advocates of ballot, greater access on the other.

1. Time for limbedded chips (/sarcasm)

First it is a national ID card. Next implanted chips so that we might all be herded like cattle. Made to vote for the Man. Not for me. Look at the fraud that occured in my own hometown of Milwaukee. Time to stop the crooks.

2. With imbedded RFD we could have a simple alarm go off as we walked

in to vote if we were not allowed to vote.
