Ensure Your Vote Counts [View all]

One of the simplest ways to ensure your vote counts on the voting machines is to take a pic of your vote tally summary screen on your smart phone for future reference. This way you have a record and you're using your own technology against theirs. Maybe we can stop the election fraud bs in its tracks if enough of us do this in the primaries and 2016. Thanks to Cal33 for suggesting I post this idea separately for more views (I'd link to the thread but still new and learning).
