(54,159 posts). . . the idea of the jobs program to get everyone in the country an ID if we then can get rid of the easily hacked computer voting machines. If not, let's go back to paper ballots, or like in New York where they used to have the old unhackable, mechanical pull-the-level voting machinces. In Germany they use exit polls (because they are accurate to within one precent) to declare the winner even before the votes are counted. Here, as in 2004, the MSM discounts the exit polls if they don't match the tallies from repug vote hacking. What a fucked up system we now have, we the country that extolls our great democracy through "free" elections. Now we on the Democratic side have to work even harder to get our people out to vote to make the margins too big for the repugs to overcome with all their vote suppression and hacking dirty tricks.
