1. I live in Florida and absentee ballots here can be tracked for the date they arrived.....
IF they have to be accounted, they have to be able to show you how you voted.

IF you made a photocopy of your absentee ballot and it doesn't match, they're screwed.

Either way, until the entire country has a standardized way of voting and every citizen is automatically listed in the rosters, we're still in the Middle Ages of voting.

Almost none of the election garbage we go through here happens in Europe.

2. A President Obama should make standardization of traceable paper
ballots uniform in all states, all districts, real soon into his first term, and I cannot think of many better people to lead such a commision for reform than Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Hi, there, happy autumn, and let's get these reforms enacted!


:hi: :thumbsup: :dem:

I said "somewhat", which is how I feel.

4. Please K&R this and help us get a better count in the poll
We just started the poll a few hours ago and need a lot more votes to get an accurate reading. Need at least 100, only 23 so far.

Please spread the word and help us get a better read on the level of concern out there.

Im more scared of cynicism among voters than i am of election fraud.

And obviously you having to keep kicking this yourself may indicate a general feeling along these lines.

7. Very concerned.
I don't think it's going to be able to flip the presidential election, but we simply won't be able to trust any race that comes out close.

Control of the White House and Congress, though, is the key to securing voting rights and actual ballots. All the people the GOP wants to silence should have a voice.
