And if by some miracle Bernie does make it through, pushing for federal election laws is probably as important as pushing money out of politics. Generate paper trails off of ALL voting machines that voters can see and verify as they're written, have them independently reviewed by at least two sets of people and the numbers compared afterwards before anything is certified, and give voters 'receipts', so that they can pull up their own votes from a national database at any point in time.
