Reply #27: Fair enough, but I just don't like this attitude of hopeless despair [View All]

What I have seen is evidence that e-voting is a problem, I completely agree. What I haven't seen is evidence that ANY election can be rigged no matter what the spread is. What people on DU are claiming is that a political revolution with 80+% of the country voting Democratic couldn't remove the Republicans from power because the machines would just change the count. I refuse to believe that we have gone that far. If we do believe that we have gone that far then we simply will ignore the idea that the democratic party needs some serious changes and we can fix all of the voting machines that we want to, but then we will just continue to lose elections.

Besides, I don't honestly see how we can fix e-voting widespread without first electing democrats to the positions that control these things. You can write all of the letters that you want but people like Ken Blackwell aren't going to give a shit.

Like I said above, the easiest fix for the problem in Ohio is to get Ted Strickland elected Governor and get a Dem elected Secretary of State. The same should be done in states all over the country.
