Agreed on all counts. We seriously need to start now to clean up before 2014. Maybe this wasn’t our last chance but if not, it’s damn close.
Also, is there any way to be sure the voter in the booth only voted once? Not positive but I think I had to open the curtain to leave and the machine had already reverted to the non-voted position. What’s to keep me from voting again?
I know, tin-foil hat yada yada but if we don’t start thinking like them, we can’t ever beat them.
My polling station uses paper ballots that are feed into machines that count the ballots. That way there is a paper ballot that can be re-counted again if necessary later.
The push button machines are the ones used to steal elections I believe.
