Reply #30: Well, that makes two of us

I don't want to argue either. And I, too, have no emotional investment. But it seems that the discussions about this always include a false choice like "millions of ballots", or the ballots are "too complex", assuming that this would have to remain the case.

During the 2000 fiasco, I remember the media declaring that the public couldn't wait. I don't remember any citizen groups marching for the results to be published immediately. And don't count the Brooks Brothers riot, that could very well have been exposed as what it was at the time. I mean real people.

I see HR 550 as a positive step to improve whatever crap is there now. Is it my ideal solution? No. Do I think my ideal solution will come tomorrow? No. Do I think it's impossible? No.
