10. This is not just true in this year's Dem primary

IT IS OVERWHELMINGLY TRUE OF ELECTIONS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

Exit polls, pre-election polls, all show the vote is being tilted red by the electronic voting machines.

This is the reason the Dems were denied a landslide in one election cycle. It's the reason the Repubs DID have a landslide in the last mid-term elections. It's the reason the Repubs have no fear in suppressing the vote further and further and lying about it over and over (they can't be held accountable for anything). It's the reason that these tea party nuts started winning around the country and especially at the local level. It's the reason that we have the SC we have, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Until we have fair elections again, we will not see any improvement.

IF THE VOTE IS COUNTED IN TOTAL SECRECY WITHOUT VERIFICATION, YOU CAN'T HAVE A DEMOCRACY.

The solution is very simple. There has to be a paper trail in every election, AND THERE HAS TO BE AN AUDIT OF AT LEAST 5% FOR EVERY ELECTION AND RULES TO REQUIRE A COMPLETE RECOUNT WHEN THE AUDIT SHOWS CRIMINALITY.
