6. Bulletproof elections should be our new "Manhattan Project"

The entire idea that our constitutional process is carried out on leased machines, without oversight of the programming of these machines, is abhorrent to me! Here in "backward" NH, we are mostly on "gold standard", hand marked paper ballots - so the bad guys throw shade about "bussing in" voters. No evidence, ain't enough buses hereabouts to pull it off - but it's a distraction from the real problems, like Ohio in 00 and 04.

Left to me, we'd "machine count" the vote on Election Night, and then HAND COUNT the ballots the next day or 2 for an "official" result. Vote compilation should be open from the precinct level up, so that parties or networks can run their own national compilation.
