If you disagree with this statement, suggest a solution. Given history, we all have a right to be worried and feel nervous about what will happen, but we are currently looking at success and I think that maybe some of us are just having a hard time accepting it. Relax a little. If we all vote and all the votes are counted, the President will win this election.
Don't just say I'm wrong, suggest a solution.

There's no indication that it will be close. That's why I said "only so much".

What I don't buy is the "paper trails are expensive" argument. That's bullshit.

It's been privatized all along. Diebold isn't exactly a charity operation and certainly not "gubmint

I'm afraid "county by county" (or townships here in PA) will be the only path to success.

I grew up in MD where EVERYTHING was at the county level. PA and NH were quite different.
