To whom it may concern,..Just a quick note,..the last video in the article is of Christchurch Cathedral damage from the earthquake in downtown Christchurch New Zealand over a week ago, and not Japan. Thank You for all you do.

my heart goes out to the people of japan but back here at home i keep hearing about these 2 rep wisconsin senators that are up for recall(voted in in 08),the chic won by less than 150 votes and the guy won 51% in a district that went 61% dem in the presidential race....and i think to myself...look at all the trouble we get possibly because we dont bother to hand count our votes openly and publicly....wisconsin was one of the best states in the nation for paper ballots,open access,education,heck they even had a balanced budget when this neo con walker came in...and its all gone now...sure the peops are talking about a recall but what dif does it make if they toss the ballots down the "blackbox" hole in the counting?

i am sure if i spoke like this to most peops they woulds say..o they would nevr do that(rig an election)but after what we have seen of walker and his fake koch call...what would you actually put past him?

ghost asked someone the other day on a thread..what good does it do to have a feel for how many peops voted in a precinct(since they dont take exit polls now) but imagine if hundreds,thousands of working class peops vote at a certain precinct all day....and they stay and watch the tape spit out the results...and the tape says..hea you all voted for the rep again or hea only a quarter of you made a choice we have tons of undervotes..nothing to see here move on....imagine if they call BS OPEN THE BOX

It's not enough to just open the box, we need to make sure that what goes into the box is what comes out.

Paper ballots in 2012. Open counting of all votes.

I have been getting feedback on different boards about absentee voting rules in different states. It has been noted that absentee voting is more reliable than iVoodooTronic voting, but these points were raised:

1) some states require voters to swear that they will be out of the jurisdiction on election day before they are allowed to vote absentee.

2) voting absentee in some areas does not mean voting with paper. It simply means voting on an iVoodooTronic machine before election day.

3) although absentee ballots may be on paper, the paper may be fed into and processed by an iVoodooTronic machine.

As Brad repeatedly stated, the only reliable way to vote is with paper ballots and with open counting of all votes.

yes ghost ..that was the point of my rambling tirade....open the boxes and count the ballots for every1 to see....have live web cams streaming..take our democracy or whats left of it out of the dark
