Significant voting reforms by 2008, or I won't waste my time voting again

[Used and Abused]

1) Paper receipts
2) Machine auditing
3) Ability to register on election day in all 50 states
4) A stop to the f*cking 9 hour waits!!
5) Public disclosure of how Diebold is in bed with Bush

Without the above reforms, I will not waste my time voting. Why should I and others wait in line for over 4 hours if our votes won't even count?

1. Man

I feel ya. A lot of damage was done in this election. I feel if K/E doesn't do something, people won't get out and vote at all.

2. Oh no.

That is giving up and rolling over, and that ain't no blow against no empire. That is what they desire. Passivity. Weakness. Surrender.

You have convinced me of nothing.

7. I'm with you, TS!

"Demoralize!"
"They've" already begun their next political campaign!

10. It doesn't matter how much we fight if the machines are fixed

Election/voting reform NOW! Who should I write? Which elected Dem will actually listen and get to work?

3. Well, we can do our part too.

Make a noise, especially to those purportedly on our side with the information.

We are the new Paul Reveres.

4. Rush Holt's bill was co-sponsored by a majority of the House

Delay didn't allow a vote on it. It won't happen now. But we need to push and push and push - this little movie may come in handy:

I am not even thinking voting, campaigns now - it's like planning a roof while pouring the foundation.

5. A Federal Department of Elections machines owned &monitered by the people

NOT by for profit private (repuke) companies ...this is the #1 issue..or should be IMHO

6. I'm looking to 2006 - put pressure on the media and act locally

Use any economic power you have.

8. 2008 will be far too late, if it isn't too late already. n/t

9. I agree...

If we are gonna roll over and give it to the conservative monkeys and they aren't going to fight for votes to be counted correctly, count me out next election too. I will probably vote, but I am not going to waste my time in knocking on doors and getting out the vote.
