Black Box Voters: How do you plan to prove your votes??

I suggest everyone take a camera or video camera to the polls with them. If there is no paper trail, then only you can protect your votes!

It just a suggestion, if you have others, let's hear 'em.

1. uh, even if cameras are allowed in polling places...

and I'm betting they don't...

a photograph is not a ballot.

BBV voters will have no official, recountable record of their votes.

period.

absentee ballots will at least provide a verifiable paper record.

2. true, but something must be done

These voters shouldn't just take it laying down.

If every ohioan (who voted for kerry) were to come out with pictures of voting for kerry in massive demonstrations, I don't think that it will matter if those are ballots or not.

6. I thought I read somewhere where a petition was recognized here in OH

and that the bbv wasn't going to be implemented this presidential election. could I be wrong?

5. they won't allow cameras...

if people could bring cameras in to video themselves voting, then a candidate could buy votes by offering money to those that can prove who they voted for
