1. Let's encourage everyone to request paper ballots.

They want computers to cheat with? Fine. We'll vote on paper ballots with a paper trail.

2. But the paper/absentee ballots are counted by Optical Scan computers.

:argh:

4. There is, however, a paper trail to go back in and count.

With the computers, there's nothin'

[Votergater]

5. But the paper ballot scanners *are* computers.

So how do we ensure that they are counting correctly? If I was going to rig the count on an Optical Scan system I would ensure that the 'win' was by a believable but large enough margin so that no recount would be triggered.

8. But we need a paper trail, paper trail, paper trail, paper trail. nt

7. OPSCANS cannot be allowed anywhere either-EVER!! Hand count ALL votes!!

Canada and a few Scandinavian countries have always had hand counted paper ballots and a # 2 yellow pencil for voters with NO problems--and the tally of the entire country is finished by that day's evening news!!!

Heard last month that the DOJ is legally cracking down on states that DO NOT WANT DIEBOLD COMPUTERS!!

Hope this isn't true, but very plausible for Dictator - in -Chief....

RISE UP AMERICA!!!
