#24. ELECTRONIC VOTING

Electronic balloting, especially without a reliable paper trail;
it's just plain wrong!

Problems:

#1. Unreliable
#2. Fraud through tampering
#3. Cost:
..............A. Programming
...............B. Maintenance
#4. No paper trail (receipt):
...........................................A. No way to track fraud
............................................B. No reliable way to accomplish recount

Of all the problems facing the electronic balloting without a
reliable paper trail method is:
#4. B. No reliable way to accomplish recount.

This (#4. B.) is absolutely the most important and significant reasons to
dump electronic voting without a paper trail.

Why?

If one is on the ballot and looses the election, this person has the right to
call for a recount. If there is no reliable way to accomplish the recount
because of no tangible paper trail able to be physically scrutinized for "any"
imperfections, up to and including "visible signs of alteration" and or
misprinting of "any nature", then it would appear that this "lack of evidence",
may, could or would disable the recount and in essence would
infringe on the right to a reliable recount.

If one cannot accomplish a reliable recount, then tracking fraud would seem
as impossible.

The second best reason to dump electronic voting is:
#3. Cost
A. Programing and
B. Maintenance

As I understand electronic voting;
A. - the systems can only be programmed by the company that sells
the machines, which "may" allow some intrusion or subversion to
the voting process. In other pure and simple words, voting fraud!

B. - the actual dollar amount to program and maintain the machines is
at this time exorbitant and with the progression of time, expected to
increase not decrease!

Add the possibility of The People being at the mercy of a single
supplier/contractor, the state tax payers may find themselves in the
proverbial "bend over position".

TO BEND AND YIELD IS ONE THING
TO BEND OVER IS ANOTHER! FCdN

As it is, the cost for voting is already high and every effort should
be made to not only keep the cost low, but also keep the hungry lips
of those who want to suck the governments tits dry at bay.

If the electronic system has a check and balance , is fraud proof, has a
tangible paper trail (receipt) and is economical in operation go for it;
if not flee from it!

Why complicate the simple issue with stupid assertions or desires of
those who wish to subvert and corrupt that which is sound or good.

Those in the business of subverting that which is sound or good should
take heed and be aware of the fact, that playing with fire will
get them burnt.

Remember Bastille Day! Oops I'm sorry, wrong country.

No I'm not; that's just pure Eveplebeodious on my part!

The truth is, when the people of France finally had enough, "they" did
something about it.

Although I DO NOT CONDONE VIOLENCE, it took a lot of balls for the
French people to stand up and set things straight; this from a people who
are said to not have any balls!

Actually it is the people of this country, the good old USA that don't
seem to have any balls; how else can anyone explain why the citizens of
the USA put up with SO MUCH SHIT FROM THEIR GOVERNMENTS,
THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND THEIR POLICE.

Well I am sorry again; I might be wrong about you not having any balls!
There really are some other reasons why Americans put up with
SO MUCH SHIT FROM THEIR GOVERNMENTS, THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS,
THEIR POLICE AND AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ANY AND ALL
EMPLOYEE'S OF YOUR (OUR) GOVERNMENTS.

Some other reasons why these people put up with SO MUCH SHIT are:
APATHY
NO TIME
DON'T CARE
SELFISHNESS
IT'S EASIER TO JUST PAY THE FINE
IT DOESN'T APPLY TO ME AND
SOMEONE ELSE WILL DO IT OR
JUST LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT!

You may have noticed, I keep saying governments implying pluralism and
this is true to a point!

In essenence what I am trying to say is; this country,
The United States Of America is really NOT UNITED!

In fact, this country may probally be the most divisive nation on earth.
We have so many different governments and rules of law, that we must
certainly be the must complex nation on earth to say the least.

Example: I live here and I want this certain rule of law, so I help this
certain rule of law or proposition become law with my vote.

I now move to a completely different area in the country or state. I now,
no longer have the benefit of this law that I helped get passed as a
security device or whatever the reason I thought I needed this law.

The people who now move to where I was, now have this law that they
have to abide by even though they would have voted against it,
if they had the choice; and guess what, coincidentally I just moved to
where they just moved from and yeppers;
I don't like the laws that they helped to pass!

Because we Americans are so fluid and move so very often, we are
completely at the mercy of chaos when it comes to OBEYING THE LAW.
This process goes on and on, over and over.

ONE RULE, ONE LAW.

YEAH RIGHT.

THIS COUNTRY THRIVES ON CONFUSION AND HER PEOPLE SUFER ON!

No I am not French, but since were on this subject:
WHERE did "The Lady In The Bay" come from and
WHAT country gifted her to America and WHY?

One more question;
How well has the U.S. economy and certain Corporate Giants prospered
on the lowly French Fry?! (Freedom Fry's, yeah right)

"The French have no balls".

Maybe France is just a nation of peace loving people. I would hope so.

SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT AND SPEAK ON, WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

I am FranCisco d Nostromo
I have spoken and I will speak again.
It's your turn now!
