Why Can't We Count?
We are tired of the voter suppression so
rampant across our country designed
to keep us from voting.
We are fed up with the fact that voting is allowed
on machines without a paper record
of the voters intent.
We question the honesty of the vote count as
machines tabulate in secret without adequate
hand count verification.
We have been told to trust 2 corporations
With 80% of the vote count on systems
without any auditability.
We know the most accurate voting system
is hand counted paper ballots.
We understand the right to vote
and the right to count our vote
are keys to our democracy
and our faith in america.
We intend to illuminate all problems
with our voting system,
We will support legislative and legal actions
undertaken,and
We will encourage citizen action
in our quest for accessable open transparent
and honest elections.
We will count.

2. Great piece...
We have known about this problem for six years now. Why is this STILL a problem?

Does anybody know why this is still a problem? :banghead:

3. Kick
This is one of the most inclusive statements I have seen.

Everyone can rally round this, I think.
