48. This is why
We need People's Audit Committees in every precinct we can muster.

No law is gonna solve the matter, except one... the people must be allowed to audit the votes. The paper 'trails' are treated as some special scroll that only a few are allowed to examine. These are our votes, we have the right to see them, in the open. Our votes should no longer be treated as secret documents.
