How do the Dems win in November with electronic voting machines?
Thomm Hartmann made a claim that before electronic voting the exit polls were always correct.

After electronic voting the exit polling has not co-insided with the end results.

1. Vote by mail, really.
Edited on Tue Mar-07-06 07:40 PM by Selatius
Unless, of course, your mail-in ballot is the kind that is read by optical scanners. Those can be fooled with as well. In that case, you really shouldn't have any confidence that your vote is counted at all unless there was a law requiring a voter-verified paper trail.

2. overwhelming turnout. Refusal to give up. Disbelief in the notion
that the battle is already lost. That simple. Vote fraud can only be done on a relatively small scale.

4. If republican 'hackers' can
enter the voting machines so too can democratic hackers. One day the Republicans will come to curse 'ELECTRONIC VOTING'.

5. Parallel elections
Surveillance of polling places, DRE machine storage locations. An army of lawyers and private investigators on the ground ready to pounce.

7. A lot of absentee ballots. Otherwise, we are in trouble. The electronic
voting machines are pre-programmed for republicans, with no way to prove that what goes in on the front comes out at the back (results).

8. GOTV In Large Enough Numbers To Effectively Erradicate The Option Of Fraud
2-3% general margin last election overall, and look how much unbelievable evidence has been overturned and analyzed, especially even here on DU! Make that spread 5-10% and it would become almost impossible to hide.

Fight for voter verified paper balloting, but while waiting for victory in that, GOTV like you never have before. THAT is how we'll win.
