You have GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!!! There will be no reforms, all voting will be by Dem standards now.
I made a pitch for the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of freepers who read here to be election workers, because you can't be kicked out of the poll and then honest eyes are on the vote. I don't think enough of us did.
I worked a 15 hour day, a lot of people voted and there was no cheating at my precinct. Get in touch with your election clerk of the county and volunteer NOW to help with the absentee ballots, military and provisional. Be the eyes on the count.
as for the paper ballots, we switched from punch cards after the hanging chads in Fla. we chose from 3 machines ONLY. Diebold (bad reputation) a machine that had parts made by the russian mafia (great huh?) or the one we went with, not touch screen but a wheel to choose the candidate, less fraud there... but what happens inside? Still electronic, how is the programing done?
I wanted the paper ballot one that is basically a counting box when you put your ballot in it counts the ovals and then in a recount you get people to LOOK at the ballot and you can really tell the intend of the voter. the machine doesn't do that. But that one wasn't approved for the federal funds to help pay for it.

Optical reader, paper ballot with audit trail. I agree. The states must fight for this.
