What if election protection groups conducted ENTRANCE POLLS?
Election protection groups could have pollsters near each precinct in Ohio asking Democratic voters to sign a register and the candidates they will support and then they can tally the "votes" in each precinct and send them to a central election protection center which gets totals from throughout Ohio or any other state. Then when the Republicans cook the votes the election protection group can pull out all of the registers and show the Republicans for the crooks they act as.

Does this appear plausible to do?

3. But these entrance polls would get done by election protection groups
and not the presstitutes and they would get the voters to register their vote before going in to vote.

4. There is a term
parallel election (do a google on parallel election - looks like some good stuff out there) but I think the voter would have to do their parallel voting AFTER they voted because although not likely it is possible that even if they said they were going to vote for someone they might not actually do it you know might not be registered properly or whatever- and the concept is exactly to have a check on the election count..

There is an internet version of this which was started by Clint Curtis who is running against Tom Feeney in FL - Clint (a former repunk) has testified that Feeney asked him to write computer code to steal elections. Anyway Clint has this thing called VoteNow 2006 where you register your vote on line as a means to monitor the vote also. https://www.votenow2006.net/index.asp

I posted something similar to this a while back and unfortunately it sunk like a rock - I hope you have better luck - I think it is really important that we have some check on these damn machines....

5. I call for civil servants counting mail in paper votes
Edited on Thu Oct-19-06 09:40 PM by liberaldemocrat7
thoughout this nation. Oregon already does have mail in ballots. I don't recall if they have civil servants keeping track of voter registrations and counting the votes but every state should have this.

I notice your nickname never_get_over it. In honor of your nick I post this image. Yes we used to sell this coin. Now we make magnets of this at http://www.cafepress.com/revolution09
