8. We need to call all representatives of all parties to get them to show they want honest elections.

The Paulites claim they were screwed by the establishment GOP, their votes not counted.

FINE, let them support this measure, right now.

Democrats have a strong interest in getting their votes counted and getting the people they say they want in office. I can see no reason to NOT support this measure fully with all the charges of election fraud for over a decade.

Knowing that their votes will be counted could spur the electorate to show up and vote. Those who aren't interested, can continue to complain about the people who do vote, and vice versa.

It's a win-win for Americans of all kinds. EOM.
