We can`t loose site of the electronic voting issue.
With all that is going on, we can`t forget about that little problem of black box voting and the way any election could be shifted to a republican win. If we can`t change this,it won`t matter what happens tomorrow for they will still win.

6. Accuracy is a good thing. Nazis are bad things.
If something doesn't make sense as written, why not ask for clarification?

9. I noticed it happening to me as soon as I started keying in my

They could be down 20 points or more and still "win".


Fixing the votes around the Party
