Did Anonymous really Save-the-Vote in Ohio? .... REALLY???

43. Here is what gets lost in the shuffle

The idea that, for a national election, 50 different processes are used to count and safeguard the vote is a problem in and of itself. You simply have too many chefs spoiling the broth, 50 in fact, each and every one trying to use the process for it's own desires. Even if there were no corporations involved, the idea that 50 different methods of voting ensures confusion at best.

I have no problem with States using their own methods for state elections; you want to elect a Governor or Senator, by all means, use your methods, and keep your state election officials, but when you affect me, now I have a right to have some say in how you do things.Yes, make a national election system for national elections, use a paper ballot, though there is no reason it cannot be a scantron like we have been using since junior high school. Break out the No.2 pencils.

I say this from Florida, the state that went from kingmaker to "Thank God it was decided before we had to worry about Florida." We voted Blue, but to a large part, it was because the ham-handed tactics to exclude voters backfired. Of course, if Ohio was counted for Romney, there would have been massive MSM pressure on Obama to concede before Florida was counted, especially as the GOP was already hearing that Democratic turnout was much bigger than expected. Of course, that fact had NOTHING to do with the slow way our votes were counted (sarcasm.)
