12. Let the groundswell begin.
Start demanding it loudly and now:

(1) Simple paper ballots, securely guarded at all times.

(2) Hand counting, witnessed and videotaped the FIRST time, beginning immediately after the polls close.

(3) Certification for each polling place by representatives of all parties at the end of the first count.

(4) Absentee and provisional ballots undergoing simultaneous, witnessed and videotaped counting/certification at the Registrar's Office or some similar secure location for each district.

What could be simpler and more secure from tampering? Anyone objecting to this type of process would have to be suspect, because it favors no party or ideology -- only a clean, secure, true count. The process certainly couldn't be any more expensive and prolonged than the nonsense we're putting up with now!
