5. The best we can do is just demand: VERIFY THE VOTE!

It has to become a mantra with those who know, and people should educate themselves at least in some of the facts, i.e., that Kerry won the 04 election according to the exit polls (which were at least as well-conducted and accurate as any ever done), that Alvin Greene in SC's Dem primary did not win the primary, maybe the most ridiculous election result in history, when a guy who didn't even bother to campaign and nobody knew from Adam, beat a perfectly acceptable, well-known opponent by almost 2-1, even though in the early voting and the absentee voting where paper was used the result was the opposite, a 2-1 margin in favor of the well-known and apparently well-liked Dem (who would have offered a good alternative to one of the horde of tea party crazies that this kind of electronic vote cheating has peopled the landscape with). AND THEN TO TOP IT OFF, the Democratic party in SC voted (I believe unanimously) not to have a re-election when computer experts at their investigation agreed that it was almost certainly a computer error. It's as if the Democrats just don't want to go to the trouble of having a democracy. You wonder why we don't just turn the whole government to the Repub criminals and idiots and be done with it, since it's obvious that this is what's going to happen except just more slowly, even as every other factor, demographics, logic, science, facts, is yelling at you: Dems are actually winning these elections, idiots. Get rid of the machine counting or at the very least, VERIFY THE VOTE!!!

Even now, Bernie Sanders, who has an insight into what's happening politically that is as good as any politician everseems to have no knowledge of or concern about what's happening with the machines. How can he understand what's happening in every area of politics EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO THE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES?? You tell me. I feel and I'm sure many others feel as if we are living in an asylum that is run by the least sane inmates.
