Populex! Apparently has the solution for our elections. But, judging by the execs of the company, I find that hard to believe.

On the management team, we've got:
*David Patterson, Republican, who helped create the "Internet In The Sky", an 840 satellite system, which is a key part of the military's "star wars" technology.

*David Henderson, who has held an executive position at about a dozen or so Oil/Energy corporations, specializing in exploration.

-Head of Advisor Team
*Frank Carlucci, former Dep. Dir. of CIA and head of The Carlyle Group for a decade. Nuf said.

These are just 3/6 of the senior execs, but what in the hell would all of a sudden bring these guys into the voting machine industry.

1. "Unconditional hand recount"

In some states, with the proper legal preparation, lobbying, fundraising, and volunteer base, it might be possible to get a full hand recount agreed to by the administration before the election, to be conducted immediately after the machine count. Doing so might dissuade fraud in those states.

Unfortunately, odds are there will be resistance to this in those states that need it the most...
