Poll question: Can Your Vote Be Stolen?
You know how your vote is counted, right? You know if it is electronic, paper, or lever.

You know the government is organized by which representatives get the most votes.

So, did your vote get counted exactly as you cast it?

1. I don't know for sure.
:shrug:

I watched with dismay as the ES&S scanner ate my ballot about an hour ago.

I honestly don't know whether or not election fraud is a reality. My beliefs are still not solidified. However, I've come to the conclusion that if I'm not sure, that's bad enough in and of itself. I have no faith in the process and until I do, I'm going to clamor for reform.

5. I voted in FL in 2004
shorly after I moved here - and I have a VERY sick feeling that my vote was counted for the Freak-in-Chief - optical scan - probably flipped at the central tabulator - the thought has brought me to tears and made me completely SICK TO MY STOMACH.....
