2. Thank you for explaining this so well. For some reason, Election
Reform seems to need lots of scapegoats. Why on earth we're "eating our own" is beyond me.

The real battle is out there, against the dishonest Election System (processes and machines), and that's where we should be fighting.

It's my experience on complex issues like this, especially where relatively powerless individuals are up against a powerful corporate/government entity, that a multitude of responses may be needed to find the one that works best. That's where a group of citizens can bring so much strength, a variety of viewpoints and perhaps a variety of actions. There is almost never ONE RIGHT SOLUTION! And the best response might be a multitude of actions, like your description of lawsuits versus legislation.

Thank you for your candor, it's refreshing.

Power to you! And to all of us who are fighting for fair elections in many different locations.
