July 4th 2006 Hand Count Revolution to start. Take our democracy BACK!!
A national constitutional amendment for paper ballots and HAND COUNTS to restore democracy to America! We don't need no stinkin' "marriage amendnment", we NEED a paper basllot Hand COUNT amendment.

Start the revolution now by gathering signatures for a paper ballot HAND COUNT amendment!

Anyone willing to volunteer to support this effort in their given states please post so we can co-ordinate a true grassroots revolution.

1. What seems more important is
...decentralizing the count. You can hand count it, but if the coutns are still centrally tabulated, it seems they could just as eaily take it. HAVA also designated this as a help to our electoral system in02.

7. I must go for now but I will follow up with you regarding your question.
You may want to research what your state requirements are and initiate one there.
