Reply #9: New Hampshire is "groupthink"? [View All]

from Democracy for New Hampshire:

"We're Counting the Votes" videos

These videos are being made available to promote the use of hand counted paper ballot election systems nationwide. The videos show the easy, transparent, observable, secure, and fair nature of this method of vote counting when done within the community by members of the community and administered by good and honest election officials.

What you see in these videos is the civic and community component that is present in proper election administration, as well as the methodology. Our hope is that people will begin to remember the heart that is the grassroots, community-centered American election.

Take some time and read through DFNH's We're Counting the Votes Kit

I don't think the voters and volunteer election workers in New Hampshire consider themselves "groupthink" or think the fascists are taking over the world.

This isn't a football game where you get all the scores on SportsCenter at the end of the night. Does the so-called 24-hour news cycle DEMAND every ballot be counted by midnight? What's the hurry? I'd rather have to wait a few days for an honest complete tabulation of votes than rely on some mysterious machines to give me INSTANT "results".

So many think an optiscan is so reliable and honest but conveniently forget how EASY they are to "pre-program".
