Anchor, Tie Down, and Dig In to THIS. At all costs.

Anchor, Tie Down, and Dig In to THIS. At all costs.

Previously, I pointed to the ultimate test of a voting system being that it secures and guarantees to the People the right to kick the bums out of office, especially when the bums are crooks, which is when we need this right the most. And, a quick consideration of computerized voting shows that such systems will certainly fail us at the point where we need it the most - to kick a crooked government out of office.

Because the reason our government was created in the first place is to secure our rights........

.... How in the world can this voting system guarantee our right to get crooks out of office when computers are so easy to hack?

Have a video team go around and interview computer scientists and see if they were criminally government insiders, could they rig the elections?? Then just play a Montage of the laughter and comments like "are you fucking kidding me?" And stay on that laughter and mockery and don't let go.

Remember that Mark Twain said nothing can withstand the relentless withering assault of sustained laughter. .............
