HOW OUR VOTES SHOULD BE COUNTED EVERY ELECTION in your precinct -- by your neighbors, and maybe you!
Elections would be exciting -- and REAL again!

(This is actually a reproduction Section 12 from the article found on this website "Understanding the REAL "2000 Election" Scam")

& & & & & & & &

Section 12: We could easily Fund an open, honest hand count BY CITIZENS -- and it should be the very first priority of the American People !!!

In that last e-wire link concerning Newt Gingrich, we reported that Gingrich said on "Meet the Press" that if they need to "attach money" to the new technology -- to induce the states and counties to start using it -- then so be it. Note that whenever the Ruling Elite wants to advance their agenda -- money is no object.

At Citizens for a Fair Vote Count, we have estimated that it would take no more than 400 million dollars per election to hand count every vote on every ballot in the United States. Because the Ruling Elite and their Big Media insist on easily riggable elections -- all you hear is how we "can't possibly" afford the expenses of the hand count.

Well, how deceived is anyone who falls for this line or malarkey!

For just as national defense is necessary to protect us from foreign enemies, honest, open, verifiable elections are necessary to protect us from domestic enemies. Whatever expense is needed to safeguard the nation from foreign and domestic enemies -- must be allocated. But ---

3. The optical scan machines are in our neighborhoods to confiscate our ballots
and or hustle our ballots out of our neighborhoods, before we have a chance to hand count them, NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS!!

Thanks, Peace Patriot,
Kevin

2. And it takes more people than are willing to do it in large urban areas
If you live in small jurisdictions, it would be fine.

4. High school kids where I work are always *begging* for service projects for their club requirements
Is it allowed to have people too young to vote counting the votes? (Real question - I have no idea, but I've heard this proposal floated elsewhere.)

5. Sounds like an excellent idea. Could even be mandated as a civics requirement nationally.

6. Under the right precautions, I wouldn't have a problem...
with some kinda bi-annual jr/sr civics project to verify the count, teach 'em about the process, evidence handling, etc.
