There seems to be a movement afoot to finally bring some legality and sanity to our election process. It is not a new idea but an idea who's time has come, given the the obvious fixing of the last two elections for president. ONE PERSON - ONE VOTE. That idea sends shutters up the spine of Republicans and Democrats alike. They don't want the voting public to really participate. They want to be able to control the system and the way it is set up now, they can. Our framers couldn't decide on which way to go on this question so they tossed it to the States to decide. The states got together and came up with a sort of pact that is the system that we have now. It is not a LAW nor is it written in the Constitution, so it CAN be changed, and at some point it will be. The current system is immensely flawed and can even border on illegal. The Framers never intended for a politically appointed Court to be the deciding factor or a relative of one of the candidates who is the reining governor to decide the outcome. A note here: They have found problems with the Florida voting machines (surprise) Seems there were votes already in the machines for GEORGE before the poles were even open and the machines turned on....Hmmmm. Anyway.....My belief is that our system needs a new make over. It was set up with the idea of flexibility and fine tuning and now is the time. Our TAX system is next! For your viewing pleasure here are a couple of sites for you to view and see how States with a vested interest can skew the outcome.

So what's your thoughts? Seems the Republico's have been silent lately and don't have an opinion, that's strange given their posturing in the past! Must be because of National Security Reasons and they don't want to anger China either!

Paper and pencil, with every ballot counted by hand, is the only way to go. Any electronic/mechanical/computer system can be grossly manipulated by a single person. Using an old fashioned ballot box would limit tampering by an individual and enhace auditablity.
Here's a good conspiracy theory: click here
I don't give this any credibility, but the guy making the claim was certainly in the right place at the right time. Just the fact that it is possible bothers me.
Yes Greg it should bother you. It should bother all of us! We are all aware to the lengths this Administration has gone just to usurp power from the people. Lies and double lies and everything hidden behind "National Security" Now is the time to " ASK NOT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY BUT DEMAND WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU!"
Paper ballots?? Richard Daley-- James Michael Curley-- do they ring a familiar bell????? chbpod
Clark- Learn to read. Widespread fraud on paper ballots is hell of a lot harder than widespread fraud on a computer based system.
Look you fucking asshole---- I CAN read--- and I CAN also cook a little-------you CAN cook--- usually dog shit---- but you Can't read-------I was implying--- ( er er that's called an implication-- right?) that there can be fraud with paper ballots---that being said---mister add a "bam" of spice--- I trust paper ballots--- and I trust the optical scan ballots that we have in NA---now if we can only get the voters to learn to connect the broken arrow and not put an "X"---chbpod
Clark - Re-read my post very slowly and out loud. You will see that I said paper ballots "limit" the scope of potential fraud. I did not say, or imply, that it would eliminate it.
You need a hobby.
And you need a dick up your ass---ooooops- sorry that's probably why you're whining---oooooh ouch----and I can read---and you can't---don;t forget to wash your hands before you serve up your next plate of shit----well maybe never mind-- flavor is flavor and aroma is aroma--chbpod

It's so inspiring when Clark debates with such sharp precision. He's an inspiration to us all.
