1. Yea.

But what I want is counting duty, like jury duty, every voter has to take his turn watching the count.

Protecting the count is vital. In fact, I would like to make it impossible to graduate from college if you haven't participated in watching the count.

Or high school. Go ahead and cheat while your kids are watching, fellas.

2. YEA!

3. good point.

Make protecting our right to vote and having those votes counted a civic duty of paramount importance. We cannot let a small group of authoritarians control our ability to change our government when it doesn't act in the interests of the Commonwealth.

6. yes, in fact, after trying out hcpb in a simulated session, it became

apparent that the counters may glaze over after 4 hours -- so arrangements should be made to deploy enough people to complete all counting within 4 hrs. of close of polls. (Also, need lots of table space.)

4. If this is a DU poll, then

you are at 100% so far.

Repugs want to trick people into thinking they need Big Government to protect them from the world terrorist threat, mainly because they've abandoned the platform of states' rights since the 2000 vote scam, and to them, the individual no longer counts in the big picture of the never-ending war on 'terra'. Because only big guns and a big army (which only Big Government can muster)are the only ways to defeat this new threat which is harder to define than the old communist threat.

Before 911, you had the communist threat. But it was easier to identify communists and socialist because of the red flags they were waving. The terrorists often have no national flag to wave, they often are not even a recognized government in the lands where they are found.

This above logic will be accepted by a lot of Americans because there are literally millions of us who can not think rationally, logically and coherently. I think it has something to do with mass media control of the information.
