So, I'm going to do a "Tim Robbins" in Shawshank. I'm going to hand write one letter every day to a Democratic Senator or Congressman and tell them how concerned I am about the electronic voting machines.

When I finish the list, I'll start over. It's not much, but it's something I can do. Maybe it will help. At least I will have tried instead of complaining about it.

2. It is just as important to write
to your local Supervisor of Elections. They hold the real power in this matter. Final decisions are still made on a local level. We need to educate our SOE's about the problems with many of these new systems and convince them not to buy them. If they don't comply, then they need to be voted out in the next election and replaced with people who promise to uphold the highest standards of fair and free elections.
