We all agree there is a Fire Burning |
|
The fire of which we speak is that fire burning our votes by using electronic systems to capture and record our votes.
The common sense solution to ending that fire is to throw water on the fire. The 'water' in this analogy is: Paper Ballots, Hand Counted.
Even a few congress critters have finally allowed that this 'water' be used to douse the flames burning down the democratic house.
But surveying some of the members here -- and on websites across the net -- we find few of the election 'experts', (I use the term loosely) adopting the common sense approach of using plain old 'water' to end the fire.
They seem to think that even more studies need be undertaken. It seems, don't you think, that they might even be benefitting by the situation?
The time is nigh: Hold those 'experts' feet to the fire and not let them escape the conclusion that Paper Ballots, Hand Counted, is the only solution presently available to end this catastrophe.

those used in the Las Vegas casinos. I like to think accurate vote-counting is at least as important as the accurate counting of money in the casinos.

4. Yes!! High time to insist that elections officials and vendors bear the |

burden of proof for deploying their junk. They all remind me of those shifty tobacco company executives.
