Reply #53: I don't expect Kerry to get in AND election reform is not a "snoozer." [View All]

With all due respect, how can we have fair elections and win if 80% of the votes are counted by machines owned by politically active corporate Republicans; how can we have a fair election if urban voters, i.e., black voters, have to wait in line for hours; how can we have a fair election when a county elections board can close down it's questionable operation for hours based on a fictitious call from "Homeland Security;" and how can we have fair elections when there is no way to verify if they were fair (machines without a paper trail).

I've not mentioned the piss-poor network security problems with these machines (did you know many tally center computers were connected directly to AP, no conspiracy suggested but, ask any teenager, it's lousy security).

We can't win elections if they are biased against us. This is THE ISSUE until it's sorted out.

When the Soviets controlled Poland, the workers had a saying: "We pretend to work, you pretend to pay us."

Out new saying is: "We pretend to vote, you pretend to count them."
