Another hero: Arkansas man confronts machine counting

Maybe we need some sort of award for the individuals around the country who show courage and common sense in the face of the electronic voting insanity that is sweeping the nation.





Beaver resident pleads case for hand-counting of ballots


By Anna Mathews, Carroll County News


BERRYVILLE - “The future of this nation is why I'm here. We can't allow a third national election to be stolen.”

Those were the words of Ron Horton who met with the Carroll County Election Commission last Thursday to request paper ballots and hand-counting procedures.

Here's the link:

2. Stevepol, great find. Recommended. That man is exactly who we need.
Citizens, an honorable title, who learn about electronic voting come to the same conclusion, regardless of political affiliation:

It's TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE DRE's, optical scans, or any type of election that takes the balloting and counting process out of view and eliminates verification.

Democracy is in the balance.

3. We should make a map of each state that shows the countrys
And put it up in a virtual war room.
