2. Venezuela does

Venezuelan machines were programmed to produce a paper trail: after each vote, a paper ballot is printed, inspected by the voter, and deposited in a cardboard ballot box. If they can do it why can't the US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Venezuela, exit polls and fraud

I'm not sure if this has been posted here or not, but this article about Venezuela seems particularly appropriate right now.

9. In Canada we make an "X" on the candidate we vote for.

We only vote for the candidates in registered parties,usually four or five candidates. Liberal,Conservative are the liberal and conservative parties. NDP are the socialist,Green is green, Marxist and Leninist and Communist are communist. Nice and simple.

11. How 'bout Panama & Phillipines...

Panama and the Phillipines is, afterall, where Bush Sr., using all he learned while in the CIA, manipulated elections to insure U.S.-backed regimes were "elected" into power.
