Should someone do a scientific poll of voters, OH and FL
Could some organization hire a scientific polling firm to survey registered voters in Ohio and Florida about how they actually voted? It wouldn't be conclusive, but it would be another bit of evidence to build the case that the election was stolen. I know I'd contribute $$$ to conduct such a poll.

1. A lot of people like to say they voted for the winner
So the poll probably wouldn't be worth a damn.

2. A poll on voting problems would help though.
If we knew what percentage had problems with mis-voting, we could extrapolate.

Not proof, but for momentum.

3. The US needs to learn from the Academy Awards how to run an election ...
Even the fucking Academy Awards has a routine audit of its voting.

Why are US elections not automatically audited? Could somebody please tell me this? We just spent something like 4 billion dollars on the election.

I am not talking about poll watching - I am talking about an automatic recount of large samples of votes to double-check accuracy.

Why do publically traded companies in this country have higher accounting standards than US elections? Companies have to submit their accounting to independent auditors every time they publish their earnings. IT IS AUTOMATIC as prescribed by US law.

Why are we even having this discussion? Why aren't we sitting back and waiting for the results of the audit THAT AUTOMATICALLY comes following ALL elections?
