16. This is where almost all of the authority for the elections resides.
If we actually want real changes by 2008 we should focus on the states. The can pass requirements for the machines.

The Republicans in Congress and Bush may go along with some watered down reform but that may even be impossible.

Constitutional Amendments take years and years.

Real change will have to be done on a state level.

Hopefully, we can have a coordinated effort in pursuing these reforms but there really isn't all that much time.

We need to strike while the iron is hot.
