Hmmm… Why Was Karl Rove So Adamant that Romney Not Concede Ohio?

34. Agree. There's no way to make the compuers reliable. People will not trust the vote.

In addition to authentic campaign finance reform, We need:

- Instant run-off, paper ballots that provide each voter with an encrypted receipt of his/her vote;
- Count the ballots in public;
- On a happily patriotic national voting holiday that starts on a Friday morning and runs through to the next Tuesday morning.

And however long it takes to count that vote, that's how long it takes.

I think this should take precedence over movement to amend, because #1. I'm just not sure we can expect to get The Constitution amended to create permanent sub-classes of persons whose 1st Amendment Rights are abridged. #2. What we REALLY need is campaign finance reform, with transparency, instead and movement to amend doesn't even address transparency. #3. The amendment process is enormous, can take about a decade, and can fail anyway.
