What if Americans staged an independently monitored papertrail election?
Edited on Thu Mar-02-06 09:58 PM by billbuckhead
We can't trust the staged elections. Now that California and Pennsylvania have lost free voting machines against the wishes of their citizens, real democratic patriots must respond. Let's have an independently monitored paper trail open source election outside the tainted Black Box voting machines. Let's do it for a week up until the election. Let's beg the world's media to come over and simultaneously cover the bankruptcy of our present Black Box elections vs a homegrown American model of how fair and efficient paper trail elections can be.

If Americans are to survive this national disaster of character and imagination we must take back technology and basic management skill from the overlords. The first place to start is voting machines and counting votes. The next place is the borders, ports and airports. The American people need to forcefully and legitimately ask that they have their country back and be allowed to start running their own nation again. It would be a great example for the Iraqis, Iranians and the rest of the world.

1. We need monitors and exit polling outside of every poll ....
..... I am from Ohio ..... I saw and heard the theft 1st hand. Nothing conspiracy theory about it.
What we need is something like a UPC (bar code) machine that after voting the voter can get
a "bar code" strip that is dated on which she/he has recorded some of the key votes.

The machine can then give a tabulated figure @ the end of the day about the vote. And the
voter would get a "receipt" that would be part of a verifiable paper trail.

One big mistake we made in Ohio 2004 was to get ready for another Florida 2000 .... "they" did
suppress the black and democratic vote but "they" had moved on to new ways to steal elections.

A clean vote = Landslide and in Ohio "they" know that so "they" put in HB 3 to keep power.

2. What if I woke up and was King of England?
They would kill your character, and perhaps kill you literally, before you even got close.

Still, perhaps I am wrong, so give it a whirl. All things being equal, it is a fine idea.

But in Imperial Amerika, NOTHING is equal, according to the dictates of both Classical and BushPutinist Totalitarianism.

3. Do a search. I've read about that being done before and..
I really think we need independent exit polling. They have been screwed up since 2000. In 2002 the failed completely.
