1. The Voter Confidence Resolution says it all: no fair vote, no confidence.
How much clearer can it get.

"When elections are conducted under conditions that prevent conclusive outcomes, the Consent of the Governed is not being sought. Absent this self-evident source of legitimacy, such Consent is not to be assumed or taken for granted."

This is so simple yet it includes much of what we've been talking about in compressed form:

--bad elections
--no recount
--no explanations
--no solutions
--NO CONFIDENCE

There were almost 200 cities who rejected the Patriot Act's intentions through city council approval. Let's put our heads together and figure out how that was done and do it for the Voter Confident Resolution.

Great post, great idea, great work. RECOMMENDED
