Any takers? n/t porphyrian Oct 2012 #1
Why don't you do some research? cali Oct 2012 #2
So, what is your point, then? porphyrian Oct 2012 #5
...also, you failed to suggest a solution. Please do so. n/t porphyrian Oct 2012 #8
do try reading, honey. cali Oct 2012 #9
I'm not your "honey," condescending person, and that is no solution. porphyrian Oct 2012 #10
It's in my prior post. cali Oct 2012 #11
So, then, you have no solution. porphyrian Oct 2012 #12
The part we're worried about is, "...and all the votes are counted..." CrispyQ Oct 2012 #3
How would that help those effected by the myriad of new laws cali Oct 2012 #4
It doesn't. The whole fucking electoral system is corrupt & compromised. CrispyQ Oct 2012 #6
That's my take. n/t porphyrian Oct 2012 #14
Agreed, but electronic voting machines are a reality in this election, as they have been since 2000. porphyrian Oct 2012 #7
Anyone who actually has a solution? We have roughly a month. n/t porphyrian Oct 2012 #13
This is not an irrational position. n/t porphyrian Oct 2012 #15
The one Australia adopted over 20 years ago - mandatory voting. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #16
I could support that. Isn't voting our civic duty? porphyrian Oct 2012 #17
Beyond that, you've got to have some faith that the machines haven't been fucked with. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #18
It's easier if the election is actually close. I'm not convinced it will be. n/t porphyrian Oct 2012 #19
There's no indication that it will be close. That's why I said "only so much". HopeHoops Oct 2012 #20
Right, we're agreeing. porphyrian Oct 2012 #21
What I don't buy is the "paper trails are expensive" argument. That's bullshit. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #22
Yep, that's bullshit. porphyrian Oct 2012 #23
It's been privatized all along. Diebold isn't exactly a charity operation and certainly not "gubmint HopeHoops Oct 2012 #24
Again, if the boss wanted it, they would make the change. porphyrian Oct 2012 #25
I'm afraid "county by county" (or townships here in PA) will be the only path to success. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #26
I only say state level because of state laws. Local is the best place to start. n/t porphyrian Oct 2012 #27
PA's a little different. We have 66 counties, but they don't amount to much. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #28
I don't think people realize how different things are state by state. porphyrian Oct 2012 #29
I grew up in MD where EVERYTHING was at the county level. PA and NH were quite different. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #30
I like THAT one. Tigress DEM Oct 2012 #33
