We need answers. Namely this: Whose bright idea was it to turn our elections over to corporations? Whose bright idea was it to let them have proprietary code in our elections that they refuse to divulge? Whose bright idea was it to have no paper trail for our elections so that anybody could hack the machines and steal the votes?

Whose bright idea was it to use optical scanners connected to Windows PC's running Microsoft Access connected to the known universe with a MODEM so anybody could sneak in, change the numbers, and split without leaving a trace?

Whose bright idea was it to make things so freaking messed up in our voting system that we don't even believe REcounts much less COUNTS?

You are responsible for ensuring the future of Democracy in America.

That is NOT hyperbole.

Now get to work.
