44. A spearhead/michael franti song line: U want rights? Ask 'em to READ 'em
the type of rights we are talking about don't depend upon the grace of congress, at least if the declaration of indendence means anyhting

the only reason to put them in statutes is to make it clear and less subject to debate potential

ANSWER ON HOLT: The paper record doesn't matter except in recounts or audits. And then only prevails as the "ballot of record" to the extent it is "inconsistent"

So, if you don't have a solid audit formula, you don't have Shit, basically. Because it will never be inconsistent so as to "prevail", especially when you consider all the resources the cheating side would throw at impeaching the audit, eh???

That being said, i'm working on a better proposal with some other folks, MAYBE it would be amended, I don't know.
