Re: Bollyn Article “Let's face it. We are a bunch of losers.”
Dear Mr. Bollyn:
The first challenge by 'We The People' in any election to guard the integrity of the vote is to determine exactly, who are the 'election judges'.
If, as I suspect, 'election judges' are indeed local Attorneys, we have an immediate answer to the problem of vote fraud.
The BAR has infested (and controls) every level of government...why would the polls be any exception?
Kind Regards,
Wayne Blanchard

Dear Mr. Blanchard,
Different states and counties have different ways of finding people to be election judges, or poll workers as they are now more often called.
In Illinois, for example, they must be registered voters from one of the two main parties, which I find grossly unfair to independent and third party voters and candidates. This is typical of Illinois election laws, which favor the big parties at the expense of truly democratic elections.
In any case, the main point is that we MUST have the local election judges count the votes in every precinct in the nation - in front of the interested public and press. The counting of the votes must be open and public. If local poll workers try and pull a fast one the citizens in that precinct can be there to watch what happens.
The open and public counting of the votes in every polling station is the essential "sine qua non" of any democratic election. I find it absolutely amazing the Americans have apparently been so dumbed down that they do not understand, and fight for this most fundamental aspect of any democratic form of government.
As Tom Stoppard wrote: It’s not the voting that’s democracy; it’s the counting.
If the rulers of any other nation, which called itself “democratic,” were to tell its people that the election officials were going to take the uncounted ballots into the back room and have some of their friends count the votes, there would be an outcry of vote fraud. But that is precisely what is happening all across America.
Here in Chicago the guys in the back room counting the votes are employees of ES&S and they are providing a direct feed to the Associated Press. Indeed, the AP has direct feed to the results in many of the 5,000 counties across America. So who is actually controlling the vote count? It certainly is not the citizenry.
ES&S operates and controls the voting process for some 60 million (42 percent) of the registered voters in the U.S.A. They supply the ballots, program the machines, and operate the central computers that count the votes for entire counties across the nation.
Another fundamental "sine qua non" of democratic elections: the precinct tally. The precinct, or polling station tally, is the only official tally in U.S. elections. That is why the local election judges have to count the votes. When they sign off and "authenticate" the precinct tally without counting the votes, which they do across this crazy nation, their signatures and authentication process become MEANINGLESS.
Would you sign off that you had received $1,000,000 if you had not counted the money? Of course not.
This is why elections in America are a sham. They are in NO way democratic by definition. Americans are unaware that we have sham elections because they are either too dumb to understand or too lazy to care. Of course the controlled media doesn't help the situation because they fail to inform the people of how their votes are being counted. Obviously the controlled media is in cahoots with the powers-that-be.
This is the basics of how we lost our democratic franchise in America. I would much prefer to have local citizens, even if some of them were lawyers, counting the votes in every precinct in America than continue to suffer this electronic "Wizard-of-Oz" centralized computer nonsense we now have.
We will continue to have lousy, corrupt, and un-accountable politicians as long as we allow the fraudulent un-democratic sham elections to replace our lost “most cherished” democratic franchise.
If Americans don't demand paper ballots hand counted in every precinct in the nation we will never recover our lost democratic franchise - or our republic. It is lost.
Sincerely,

How votes should be counted in every precinct - by hand. Paper ballots hand-counted in front of the public and press are the sine qua non of any democratic election. Don't Americans understand that is the basis of the democratic franchise?
