41. We've definitely had enough of that since 2000.

I remember here in Europe in 2004, all my friends here in NATO-land asked me for my prediction for the presidential election of 2004. I said, Kerry wins the election and Bush remains in office. They asked me how I figured that would work. I said just watch. After the election, they just nodded in resignation. After the Georgia Senatorial election in 2002, it was obvious what was going on.

My brother told me back then--and this is now SIXTEEN years ago--"give me a cell phone and a laptop. and I'll make any one of those electronic voting machines give you any result you want." Many of them use the SAME software they use now. He does top secret high tech stuff in the DC area for agencies usually represented by acronyms, so he's not some hobby hacker who plays in his basement on weekends. The voting machines MUST be eliminated.
