Sad, isn't it?

The leaders of election reform, gawd bless all of them them and their monumental efforts, have decided that paper ballots cast and counted by human beings are not going to happen.

They even had me convinced.

But what they forget is that Congress has the constitutional authority to regulate Federal elections. See link:

If we all turned our efforts into getting congress to mandate that all federal elections would be done on paper ballots and counted by human beings - no machines - then half the battle would be won.

There are, at most, just three federal office holders elected at any one precinct. So counting just three races is a piece of cake. No need for fancy machines, as the argument goes for convoluted ballots.

It makes perfect sense that federal elections are done one way across the country. And that one way that makes perfect sense is Hand Counted Paper Ballots.

Leaders, please, this is what the people want, help us achieve this monumental goal.
