A vote is the democratic equivalent of free will and trusting your vote to proprietary electronic voting machines is like giving your soul to the devil. Our votes are possessed and as the congregation of this democracy, we have a calling to protect the sanctity of the vote. Without open source transparency and safeguards that protect the vote, citizens must take a stand against unsecured electronic voting systems. Our votes are not a commodity – they are the last piece of democracy owned by human hands. We think election fraud can't happen here in the bastion of freedom and democracy and it is that kind of patriotic denial that allows private companies with secret software to run our elections. The vote is more valuable than any currency. Don't allow this democracy to be swindled from us. Speak out, write, protest, file complaints and lawsuits to protect the vote. Use the freedom afforded to you by this democracy while you still can. Corporations dominate the economic landscape of our lives. They must not be allowed to own our voting systems, too. Keep the robber barons out of the vault of our elections. ********** Go Back
