I think there is a certain amount of that type of thinking Doug. However, I think too that there was tampering. It would be in the best interest of ALL Americans if there was a real paper trail. I know computers can speed things up, just as electronic banking does. BUT, when electronic banking gets screwed up, it is one big screw up.

I like the idea of putting my X on a ballot then having people from each party there to tabulate the results. Makes me feel better. So why not do it that way? Ain't gonna hurt anything, and it's not like elections that are close won't be watched by people if the results aren't there presto. What's the hurry? Stop, and count the ballots, by hand.
