5. Oh, THAT kind of clerk!
I thought you meant you had some lackey working for you, as if you were a judge or something. You never know!

Well, from reading some other comments here about this report, I got the distinct impression that it was junk. Glad I decided to read it for myself because it's not.

If the usual common sense arguments don't resonate with the Dems, maybe party loyalty will, and fortunately in this report the DNC has come out strongly against DREs. And they have evidence to back this up.

Their assertion that there was no widespread fraud in Ohio is another story. But we have to play the cards we've been dealt.

When talking to Dems, cite the opinion of the authors of this report against DREs.

When talking to Repubs, tell them that their votes may not be counted either for all we know.

Whatever it takes to convince people that these machines can't be trusted without lots of paper, auditing and where necessary, recounts.

Better, yet, let the voters fill out their own paper ballots and then scan, audit and recount those, and do away with DREs altogether.

How will Demcoratic election officials and legislatures answer to the people and the party when this issue is brought up? Let's use this report against them to get what we know is right.

As far as Ohio, it's clear that they have other issues.:(
