> "We the People Do Not Concede"- Election Stolen by Network of Fraud

Dear Readers-
A paper trail is absolutely required. This country’s trust in the private computer software/hardware produced by Diebold and others is a sign of the country’s naivete and basic computer illiteracy. You can bet that numbers were fudged in this election and in countless ways, voters were disenfranchised.

There is NO reason not to keep one system for everyone in the country. The system is seriously flawed, and it will stay flawed because, yes, it helps the ruling party to control. "there is no way of knowing who won", WHAT IS THAT? I cannot believe my ears when I hear that we can’t verify the vote results. It’s an about-face on the democratic process and goes way beyond partisanship. The issues were KNOWN and nothing was done by anyone during the past 4 years. Why? Well, the terrorists would WANT us to reform our electoral process’, perhaps? Yes, the terrorists in the White House.

There is ZERO reason — apart from getting ’instant results’ in the fast-food nation — not to have people simply mark an X on a piece of paper, and then have representative from all major parties count these. Then store these votes in case of recount needs. It works for other industrialized countries (eg. Canada). It’s not hard, people, it’s just plain old counting. I am thoroughly disgusted by the Republican line of ’sore losers’; we’re all losers because we didn’t all have a say in this election. The democracy loses, and big-time.
