LOL....you can't be serious...

There are about a dozen reasons, some legit, some bogus that will never ever happen...

Ever hear of of "separation of powers" ?

I agree with your ‘don't back down, don't give up’ attitude. Regarding the voter fraud issue, I'd be interested in surveying FReepers to see what ideas people have about securing an honest voting process. The paper ballot idea is a good one, but let's be creative and see what we can come up with. One thing I would like to see instituted is having several video camera systems at every voting site, creating a video record. This can't be that expensive or difficult to do.

If we are going to keep electronic voting machines I would like to see a system in which every vote automatically was linked to a specific number, and immediately tabulated - with the vote and the number associated with it dumped immediately into three separate off-site secure databases. When you vote, you will be given as a receipt the number that identifies your vote. This number would identify where the vote was cast, the time of day, the sequence, and a randomly generated few digits, but no personal information regarding the identity of the voter other than the fact that this PIN is linked directly to your vote. This PIN could then be used to verify your vote later - instantaneously online - to make sure it was registered for who you voted for.

I'm sure there are a ton of ideas out there. Let's collect them, and make proposals.
