4. Please, DeSwiss! It CAN happen. It is a DOABLE citizen campaign.
A DOABLE, peaceful, righteous campaign that could involve MANY people--of almost all political views! It is SO BASIC. Transparent vote counting. But people first have to get that SOMETHING IS WRONG. And more and more people ARE getting that. Think: a thousand people down at the precinct or at the county election office, calmly insisting on being SHOWN the counting of their votes. And think of that spreading to other precincts, counties and states.

The power to choose voting systems still resides at the state/local level, where ordinary people still have potential influence. There is NO federal law that requires them to use ES&S/Diebold or any other corporate-run machines. It CAN be changed. It will just take sufficient pressure in sufficient jurisdictions to start snowballing.

Please do NOT presume that the Peoples' collective power cannot change things. It CAN. Why do you think the rats ruling over us spend so much money and energy propagandizing us and stealing our elections? They fear us. They really do.
