California,.. the paper ballots,.. should the voter choose that – will they be counted,.. or tossed into the trash dumpster along with the provisional ballots without even attempting to count them ? Do they plan to hand or machine count them ? Or on election day do the Rethugs catch a 6PM flight to Washington DC and Denny Hastert secretly swears them in before the polls even close up ?
Hey Old Turk! You have been reading the Republican Play Book.
Everybody want’s a solution, and to hear common sense.
here goes.
amendment:
No swearing in until all ballots in all precients in all territories and districts are counted.
UNLESS a nuke, or bomb, or gunfight, or natural disaster goes off in the United States, then the EXISTING precints, in the existing territories, districts ALL be counted. And only then a swearing in.
(i think thats a run on sentence or something. i am sure someone out there can re-word this in lawyer tongue.)
I think one of the problem we have right now in the US is everyone wants everything fast.
When it comes to elections we need to SLOW DOWN.
Even if we had a world war 3 scenario, we still need to slow down with our elections.
SLOW THE HELL DOWN PEOPLE!
SINCE Electronics have been introduced into our elections, it has clouded up EVERY SOS in the NATION’s website[s]. lawsuits, cost us trillions of dollars, a president not elected by the people, a war with hundreds of thousands of deaths, the loss of our constitution, and billions of missing dollars all with no accountability and probably a ton of more crap I haven’t mentioned.
If the media want’s to cover elections on our Broadcast media, they should only get data that was calculated and validated on paper. Or they should get their broadcast license[s] revoked.
If they EVER EVER EVER report data from unvalidatable electronic voting machines again, then every citizen in the entire united states (has a DUTY!!) to file a denial for their frequency renewal, in their public file. That means no ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, FOX.
This horse crap has go to stop.
Unless our government itself is a domestic terrorist and wants to kill “We The People” e.g. putting our own damn country into a civil war, along with all the other made up wars?
And I ain’t saying there ain’t a threat to our country, there most definetly is.
I just about had enough of these people in charge. They better get some common sense, and stop spinning our ideas and our integrity.
