Can You Verify That Your Vote Actually Counts?

My apologies for all the politics that you've found here lately, but like so many of us in this country right now, I am consumed with this election. It will come to an end soon....I promise ;-)

I was forwarded this YouTube video from a friend from whom I have learned much this past year. I thought it was definitely worth forwarding to you all. The fact of the matter is that we all have one thing in common if we decide to utilize our right to vote....that one thing is WE WANT OUR VOTE TO BE ACCEPTED, RECORDED, AND COUNTED! No matter who your preferred candidate is or which party you may affiliate yourself to, we all want our vote to count. In a world where there is a way to track EVERYTHING, even emails you believe you have erased (just ask the guys at ENRON), why is it that in so many states, votes are not verifiable once they have been cast because there is NO PAPER TRAIL? What is that about?

The attached video shows that it would and COULD be extremely easy to count "computerized votes" that are still track-able and VERIFIABLE by a paper trail in the event a need arises for a recount. As it is too late for this election cycle, in my opinion, between now and the next nationwide elections, All Americans should make this a united cause by writing to their election board presidents and Congressional Representatives and Senators to make their preferences known.

WARNING: Cynthia McKinney is featured in the video and for some of you she may be a polarizing figure. THIS VIDEO IS NOT ABOUT CYNTHIA MCKINNEY NOR HER CAMPAIGN SO PLEASE WATCH IT AND YOU WILL SEE THE POINT IS NOT HER BUT THE SANCTITY OF YOUR VOTE!



It's your vote....if you can confirm that you chose to pay your utility bill with a receipt, shouldn't who you chose to be your president be confirmable as well? There are so many things we get behind that don't matter in the larger scheme of things, but this....this really does have the potential to change the world....at least the world as we now know it.
