1. Either Paper vote and hand count or
The Fair election petition:
In the interests of fair elections we demand the following standards be instituted immediately for all electronic Ballot boxes and vote counting machines.

All programming instructions shall be written in open source code. That code shall at all times be available for public inspection and pass independent third party certification for accuracy and reliability. After that certification the code and all hardware shall be secured no changes shall be allowed to the code or the hardware after certification.
The vote shall only be counted after a voter verified paper record of the vote has been created and retained.

All vote records and counts shall be transferred by verifiable physical means. Any CD DVD TAPE or other transfer medium shall be labeled with the counts and a date time stamp. All records and counts shall be reviewed and verified for validity and accuracy.

No modems internet connections or telephone connections will be allowed at any stage of the vote/vote counting process.

2. Election fairy
Why don't we ask the repuklicans if we can pretty please lick their boots in all future elections? Maybe, maybe we can draft an official resolution to the Election Fairy to grant us such noble offices as dogcatcher? Or chambermaid to the dictator? Because essentially that is all the power our Democrat Senators are using.

More laws are just F..ng useless. The administration CHOOSES what to enforce. Case in point Ashcroft chasing down docs writing prescriptions for painkillers and abortions.

We would all do better to work full bore at ousting every single member of the DNC & the DLC. THEY have failed us.
