To Raise Awareness --- set up computerized voting at Political
meetings! Should be easy to set up a program on any computer and demonstrate at Democrat, Republican, or Alternative Party meetings. Actually we should take the program to any and all local organizations to raise awareness of our plight. Can someone design a simple program that could be used on any computer for demonstration purposes? Some people only learn by doing - might be good to run a mock election with everyone in the meeting voting then showing skewed results.

1. Yes, and every time someone votes, the computer
prints out their vote, after the computer riggs the actual electronic vote total they can count the paper votes, and it will show them how important it is to count ALL the paper votes by hand to confirm that the machine total matched the actual paper vote total.

Maybe it will show them that if you are going to count the votes electronically for speed, that you always, ALWAYS need a MANDATORY second hand count (NOT A RECOUNT) of the paper ballots for accuracy.
