Nothing else, at this moment in time, matters as much as the integrity of the vote. If we can't <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>throw the bums out</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, not one thing will change, and will indeed get worse, probably immediately.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Request absentee ballots. My grandmother actually suggested this to me last month.

I might suggest insisting on paper ballots, or requesting absentee ballots, and then spoiling your ballot in some way that prevents it from being read electronically, e.g., scribbling on the bar code. I don't know if it's any better that it be counted by hand, but it might be.<br>Lots easier to mess with machines than to try to make all the human hand-counters complicit.<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Good luck, Americans. <p></p><i></i>
