Talked to my State Senator tonight

[BeFree]

Asked if she knew that soon she would be faced with making a decision on the type of voting machines used in our state.

"No, not really"

So I related how there are some bills coming forward that would help to point out the failures of the present day machines, and would have the backing of many computer experts to get rid of e-voting.

A stunned look.

Related how the machines in use could be hacked, and how votes were lost because of machine malfunctions.

"Yep, I've heard that" she says, "But no one is going back to counting all those paper ballots, but I think we do need a voter verified paper printout as a back-up."

Well, we are getting somewhere, I thought. So I launched into how I thought the recent elections had been stolen, and that she would have won by even more votes had it not been stolen. How the exit-polls showed it was stolen, that machines had serious problems, and that it all added up to clear case that the process was broken. That I was hoping she would examine all the evidence coming her way. She said she certainly would.

"Call me anytime"

Then later, at the same get together, met the first real live human being that agrees that the election was stolen! This after talking to probably at least 50 people about our ideas. Not that all 50 disagreed, but he was the first one that flat out agreed! All in all, a pretty good day.
