THE VOTING MACHINES and THE VOTER SUPPRESSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The voting machines are "trivially easy" to rig or hack and voter suppression is trivially easy to do because people are not taken to court.

Find ways to "verify" the vote or start talking about and filing law suits about hand-counting paper ballots. AT THE VERY LEAST: TALK. ABOUT. IT.

Why doesn't the ACLU bring a law suit about the voting machines when they've got plenty of well done statistical studies of the differences between the "unadjusted" exit polls and the purported actual vote. In Germany a law suit in 2009 resulted in the throwing out of the voting machine as being inherently un-democratic. That is, the court said, unless the average voter believes that his vote has been counted fairly, YOU CAN'T HAVE A DEMOCRACY. It shd be a law suit on the order of Brown v Bd of Education.

For those interested in elephants in the room, here's an article about something no self-respecting US media outlet would cover:
