We've got to keep up this fight. But I think we've ALSO got to realize how banana-peel slippery is the ground under our feet. The whole system's ultimate aim is transparently to remain non-transparent! Whatever sleight of legislative/administrative hand that takes. 1/
Like, for example, seizing on a touchscreen "crisis" to push "paper," while KNOWING that the computerized devices that will mark that paper for the voter are just another open invitation to rig. And like promoting the useless SEA act in place of the effective SAFE act. 2/
I've called it "One step up, two steps back" (with apologies to Bruce) and I believe it is why we don't need the SEA act but a SEA CHANGE. We need to wake America's voters up to the fact that this is THEIR democracy being destroyed and THEIR responsibility to SAVE it. 3/
How? By stepping up. By stepping forward. By saying WE WILL DO THE COUNTING. We don't NEED touchscreens. We don't NEED BMDs. We don't NEED to trust outfits and programmers (and hackers) who have their own agendas or can be bought. 4/
We HAVE the peoplepower to COUNT and OBSERVE the count. But no one has ASKED us. No one seems to WANT us to participate. Well SCREW THAT. It's OUR country and we have the RIGHT to perform that DUTY in PUBLIC where everything can be SEEN. 5/
We can wrestle with the eels and keep losing or we can truly drain this swamp and win. We have counted BEFORE (for 200 years); we know in some places here and in countries like Norway, Holland, Germany, New Zealand they do NOW. 6/
We CAN count. And it's time we let our would-be masters know we're HERE to do the job, to work for our country and our democracy, to SAVE it. #WeCount !! 7/7
