Just so there's no funny business

perpetrated by media, polls, electronic voting, etc. I think there ought to be people (citizens) assigned to record and photograph events. And later I think there ought to be citizens who assign themselves to do exit polls. I do not trust the media, the polls, or the electronic voting system. We need organized 'work-arounds'.

The video of a huge crowd of citizens arriving for a Bernie Sanders event in Minnesota was powerful. And I recall how the huge protests by people against going into Iraq was minimized, under covered with little photographic evidence.

1. Republicans say this very thing

In fact, I believe they use these same talking points every election.

2. You are suggesting?....

I'm a Democrat and have been talking about the electronic voting system for years.
I'm also suspicious of polling companies. If only the Democrats had used their
power when they had it to address these concerns in Congress, I wouldn't still be
talking about it.

I do think that ALL citizens, regardless of their party affiliation should be deeply concerned.

3. Flag on the play, misleading statement - The Republican claim is voter fraud not counting fraud

They (R)s claim that non citizens vote, dead people vote, and people vote multiple times. A problem that does not exist. Election fraud on the other hand is well documented, machines flipping votes (documented), machines hacked in seconds to show how easy it is and so on, it is a real problem.

Not to mention the fraud just documented in the recent caucus where a Bernie vote was switched to a Hillary vote after it got to the regional office, something everyone agrees happened.

Stop lying please.

4. Thanks. Personally I don't keep track of Rep. talking points

so thanks for catching the distinction.
