Lynn Landes has been investigating election fraud all along. She has the ultimate solution, paper ballots, a several day voting process for all to join, and public counting. Wow, what a concept!

(no machines, no audits, no absentees, no early voting)

This is not a conspiracy theory. It's a hard fact. A handful of Republican-owned and foreign corporations completely control America's voting system. And the Democrats are letting them get away with it. Incredibly, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) approved of Internet voting in the Arizona Democratic Primary in 2000. And current Democratic National Committee chair, Howard Dean, along with fellow presidential candidate Wesley Clark, supported Internet voting in the Michigan Primary 2004, over the objections of other presidential candidates.
Instead of demanding paper ballots and hand counts, the DNC, Democratic legislators, and many voting rights activists are proposing ballot printers, spot audits, and early voting. These are not the answer. They will not give the voting process integrity, security, or legitimacy.
It's not just political races at risk. The expanding use of the Internet to elect the leaders of our civic associations, business groups, and labor organizations, threatens the very fabric of our society. In the spring of 2003, Election.com, an Internet voting company, was purchased by Osan, Ltd., a group of Saudi investors. Election.com has about 600 customers who use its Internet voting service, including the DNC, the Pennsylvania State Employees Credit Union, the Sierra Club, and the Florida Bar.
