it can help overcome the "hack" because the numbers reported will not make sense but then the ptb have to actually do something about it....which hardly ever happens

siegleman's election was stolen in 2002 by simply manipulating numbers in the middle of the night

people need to count there own precincts by simply talking to their friends and neighbors, people need to watch the accumulation of reported votes (as they did last year in the ag race in virginia)
