NO MORE MACHINES...If Hackett wins OR loses...(and Gawd, I hope

[AzDar]

a miracle occurs!!)We need to use this to illustrate that these goddamn voting machines open up our elections,and therefore our very Democracy to FRAUD. NO MORE!!! Paper ballots NOW!!!

1. I dont think this election was fixed

BUT I totally support paper ballots...absolutely ... and that should be in place by 2006.

lie.

5. You are probably right. An excellent showing by an excellent candidate..

I get a little nervous, however, when there are 'malfunctions' due to 'humidity'. We may never know if there was fraud...but this can serve as a jumping off point for the movement that removes the possibility of any more fraud in the future. These machines MUST GO!!

2. Catch 22...

We won't be able to require paper ballots until Democrats have the majority and we won't have that until we and insure fair elections.

4. Which is why we have to start from the ground up. Straighten out

the local and state voting issues and take it from there.

6. we need to get half the country to go on strike or similar

We're not getting listened to.

7. This election USED paper ballots. That's NOT the solution!!!

AARRGGHHH

I'll say it AGAIN, LOUDER THIS TIME:

WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE SECURITY PROCEDURES!!! THE TABULATORS USE CLOSED SOURCE CODE. THERE COULD BE PROGRAMS WRITTEN THAT SWITCH VOTES AND YOU CAN'T SEE IT. UNLESS THERE IS A RECOUNT, AND THAT REQUIRES A CLOSE MARGIN!!!!

THE MEMORY CARDS THAT STORE THE DATA CAN HOLD PROGRAMS TO SWAP THE VOTES. THE MEMORY CARDS CAN BE SWITCHED. THE DATA TRANSMISSIONS CAN BE HACKED. THE DATABASES CAN BE HACKED.
THERE ARE SECURITY LOOPHOLES ALL OVER THE PLACE.

WE NEED TO GET OUR LEGISLATORS TO LISTEN AND TO WRITE LAWS THAT ADDRESS THE SECURITY ISSUES! WE NEED THEM TO WRITE PROCEDURES THAT THE SECRETARIES OF STATE HAVE TO FOLLOW!!!
