Do You Believe in Secret Vote Counting?

*NEW* Hand-Counted Paper Ballot Election Administration Handbook

Do you believe in secret vote counting?

No? If instead, you believe votes ought to be cast in private but counted in public, this Handbook is for you.

Computerized voting equipment has been used in America's elections since the mid-1960s. With computerization came privatization as well. Our votes -- by which all other rights are secured -- have been claimed as private property by the voting machine vendors, who count them in secret, tell us what the results are, then lock away the records, denying the citizens access to inspect and verify our own votes.

We all know that secret vote counting doesn't belong in a democracy. The only legitimate elections are those that are conducted in full public view, with transparent, publicly accountable procedures for counting, reporting, auditing and preserving the votes.

We owe it to our country, ourselves, and future generations, to protect the foundation and ensure the integrity of our democratic process.

Fortunately for us, it turns out this is easy to do.Hand counting is simple, accurate, auditable, cost effective, and eminently do-able in every polling place in the country -- and the new Hampshire experience provides the proof.

they are in a contest to see who gets the most votes, but yet neither one of them are concerned with how the votes get counted.

They beg us for money to help them get votes, but yet when you want them to speak publicly about how the votes will be counted, they refuse to do so.

:crazy:

I hope they are having fun in their make believe (I'm running for president) world.

It hurts me to have to say this about our Democratic candidates but, what else is there to say?

Embarrassing just Embarrassing!

his answer showed a complete lack of understanding of the situation.

Please provide more details. Thanks.

at the precinct level.

Then they shold go to the central counting place.

If there is any difference, they get hand counted again - in public.

Once again, I will mention that I am an election inspector and hand counting is almost impossible in this day and age. Historically, it has been the most error-prone and corruptable method of counting, hence the various mechanical and electronic machines to do it right.

We use cash registers, adding machines, calculators, and computerized ledgers... Why? Because they are vastly superior to handwritten records. Or do you seriously argue that we should also go back to books of yellow ledger paper and ultrafine pencils?

So, we shall continue to vote by machine, and the only question remaining is the accuracy of the machine. Every bank and store chain has standards for accuracy and audit trails in its cash handling, so there is no reason for voting machines to not reach the same level of accuracy.

The only thing preventing Hand Counted Paper Ballots right now in this country is the media and the silence from the machine selected politicians.

MARK MY WORDS as soon as enough people know and understand this electronic vote count scam, AMERICA WILL RETURN TO HAND COUNTED PAPER BALLOTS (PERIOD)

just talking shit.

Fat chance my county is going to find people to sit around till 2 AM counting ballots. We can barely get people for the 16 hour day as it is.

FOR ALL TO SEE, What do you want for our kids?

Forget about me, your kids just asked you, What is the most secure way to count ballots, Whats your answer to them slick.

just asked you, What is the most secure way to count ballots, Whats your answer to them?
