If we want to take back Congress and local elections in 2018 we have to do this:

Take the Secretaries of State of each state to task and demand that they DECERTIFY all computerized voting and tabulation, including DREs, Optical Scanners, Central Tabulators, etc. on the basis that we can never be confident that our votes are being counted as cast. That is all it took for Germany to forbid use of machines in their elections.

Here is link for roster of secretaries of state from NASS.org :

We still have time for paper ballots to be printed up -- but barely because ballot design and printing is done months in advance of an election.

The ballots need to be HAND COUNTED at the precinct level. Here are hand counting techniques:

Hand counting paper ballots is as simple as collating. We don't need computers for this.

2. I'm not counting on repugs to do the right thing for anything. But with the recent DefCon hacks

now would be a good time to take the negative publicity regarding hackable computerized voting equipment and pollbooks and pressure the Secretaries of State to respond.

Not all SOSs are repugs, so at the very least, maybe a dem will budge and speak out -- problem is, in the past, some of them have feared job loss or worse

6. We MUST address election vulnerability if we are ever to have a majority again:

8. people in states with ballot initiatives could try to get this issue on the ballot; i think it may be necessary to go around the SOS and state legislatures, because many of them like the system just the way it is.

There's the money quote. The left wants to go around the states and the people and dictate how to vote. I am sure they will then dictate who counts the votes and how.

Amazingly I am sure the leftist candidate will win in a landslide.

Dems were generally the ones who breathlessly demanded we switch all traditional voting-modes over to computers/home-computers.  -Slamming Repubs for being non-tech.

Yeppers! It was Ds who in 2000-2001 demanded switching from paper ballots to electronic voting systems. All because some DEMOCRAT local election official in FL was too damned lazy to have their punch card machines properly maintained ... over a period of years.

Besides, if they stop election fraud the dems won't win another election outside of the major urban areas.

      Who is the magical "we" they keep talking about? THEY aren't going to do shit other than post on DU about how they need to veer farther left.

      Which, of course, I'm counting on: Dems will be in for quite a shock when they find out that people care more about jobs than how many trannies can shit in the bathroom of their choice.

If we want to take back Congress and local elections in 2018 we have to do this:

go further to the left and support socialism. Call out all those deplorable working class white folks, and keep up the identity politics.

That is a sure fire winning strategy.

You know, we keep telling them why everyone hates them.
They are just incapable of learning.

This sounds like a job for the Late Red Round One.

I'm surprised that none of the primitives invoked his name.

Would DU veterans please tell the "newbies" of Andy Stephenson's importance here...


I for one entered the scene too late for full knowledge-base, so I would be interested in some fill-in myself. Thanks in advance!

Oh dear.

It's remarkable how a flatulent fraud appealed to the primitives.

Hey, DUmmies, while you're at it, demand that the dead are removed from voter rolls and votes are counted in public view. Either you want clean elections or you don't.

[Old n Grumpy]

why don't you write your representatives and just have them do away with those pesky elections altogether.

Then you can just take over like you want to.

Maybe they should just stand outside the polling places with bats and clubs. Nothing bad will happen to them under this administration...
