...have not only monopolized land, money, resources and our public airwaves, they now own the election system as well, which has been completely privatized, with electronic voting and vote tabulation run on "trade secret," proprietary programming code, owned and controlled by major Bush donors and supporters (Diebold and ES&S). This was accomplished in the 2001-2004 period, with the collusion of many Democratic leaders, under the guise of "election reform." The loop of corruption and enslavement of the American people is complete.

Poor Jefferson! He also wanted an anti-slavery plank in the Declaration of Independence, but got overruled by his southern brethren.

Well, time for American Revolution II, I think. Throw Diebold and ES&S election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor' NOW!

Nothing's going to change--or be changeable--until we restore transparent elections.

We need...

Paper ballots hand-counted at the precinct level (--Canada does it in one day, although speed should not even be a consideration, just accuracy and verifiability)

or, at the least

Paper ballot (not "paper trail") backup of all electronic voting, a 10% automatic recount, very strict security, and NO SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code! (...jeez!).
