28. Hopeless despair
The only thing that now gives me hopeless despair is seeing so many turn their backs on the truth of how dangerous e-voting is to our Democracy.

It is a catch-22 to get Dems elected when the machines have the possibility of not allowing them to get elected in the first place. So that's where we start. Believe me, I wish we didn't have to even discuss this issue. In fact, its the last issue we should have to worry about.

But being that there is evidence that we must first get rid of the e-voting before we can ever get a fair government leads me to make this issue a priority. Neglecting it, as all of us had for so long, has allowed a great deal of mistrust to enter into politics. Trust is the issue, and e-voting destroys that trust right from the get-go.
