tell me why even waste time voting in 2006

[still_one]

if they do nothing about paperless ballots?

[acmejack]

1. Because if we have to we'll

set up a booth where dems can sign an affidavit on their way out stating they voted in such and such a manner. We could have notaries there to take care of that issue. It would come close to incontrovertible evidence, IMO.

They want you to think like that. Why bother plays right into their hands. You can bet their faithful will be there.

3. How do you deal with absentee ballots?

that is where at least half the fraud took place.

[acmejack]

4. Perhaps we will need to consider that.

The plan could stand a bit of refinement, I'll admit! I am still working on first cup of caffeine, I thought it was quite clever for something dreamed up in 5 seconds.

[Demit]

2. Because the more people who stay home just encourages them to

think people don't care who runs things. The fewer people showing up to vote means it's easier for them to skew the results.

I don't think staying home and not voting makes any kind of statement at all. Go and write somebody's name in, go write in Mickey Mouse, but show them that you care enough to show up.

5. why won't our representatives move this up to a TOP priority

if we cannot trust the process, then it is over

[Demit]

8. Some of our representatives ARE making this a priority--and a lot of

citizens are active, too, in organizations created with this as their ONLY priority. Our job is to support them both in any way we can. And to not give up quite yet. It's not over yet.

If people stop going to the polls, it certainly will be over. And we will have handed the system over to the frauds & thieves without them having to do anything. Just handed it over to them without a fight.

9. Big Corporations still want to own our alleged elected representatives,

And our alleged representatives are not willing to risk losing the Big Corporate "donations." Big Corporations do not want a Government controlled by the people and for the people.

This country has become nothing but a corrupt racket on all levels, and those who can do something about it won't, because they will lose their gravy train.

[Justitia]

6. Crazy idea: what if we ran a "parallel" election? With paper ballots.

Vote on the machines, also cast a paper ballot. Compare results.

Just thowing it out there. :shrug:

[flordehinojos]

7. so we can delude ourselves that we are still living in a democracy.

[ArkDem]

10. We should vote on clay tablets. More durable than paper

and they leave a bigger trail!

[applegrove]

11. Don't you think there is a reason why the repukes do not 'solve' this

transparency issue of elections? What is the payoff for them?

You give up. They win.

[gordianot]

12. Also voter fraud cannot be cheap, it hits them in the pocket book.

Want to frustrate a Rethug either take or make them spend money. I see the day that 1/2 of campaign funds are spent on the election and the other 1/2 spent in Court. If that is what we have to do so be it, I'm willing to donate.

[LSK]

13. because if none of us voted, they wouldnt have to cheat

Why make it easier for them?
