6. Let the Dem Politicians celebrate, then we DEMAND
PBHC in all future elections. Maybe like an e-mail blitz to all the Dem winners as soon as they catch their breath from the election, just so they know that we are prepared to fight for what is right, PBHC.............BAN THE MACHINES!!

10. Absolutely.
This should be a top priority.

Talk about "open and accountable" government.

11. Yep, it's time. Real soon.
There is no reason to keep them, none. An if anyone thinks that this was a clean election, sorry
Virginia, there's no Santa Claus. There was just no "sanction" and it was much harder to pull the
normal crap because so many eyes were focused on the whole process.

All we have to do is just sit around going "Oooga Booogh Smoooga Woooga" for the next couple years.

Kidding of course.

I can hardly wait to see how quickly the issue of election reform is brought to the floors of both houses.

It can't be soon enough for me.

22. Yes. Congress should pass a law requring federal elections...
...to be paper ballots, publicly hand-counted.

There are a maximum of 3 federal races in each precinct, and so it would NOT be too time consuming to hand-count.

Congress should let local races be counted with machines, but not federal races. States can have two ballots if they so choose.
