Ok, I'm done with this business of party officals and people cant SEEM to count votes and it is the 21st century.
With all the money we spend in the government you would think they could get the voting system correct!

So I would like to see a Reciept that prints out and uses the same technology in creating paper money so its not counterfieted.
This gives the voter a physical copy with a confirmation number and this can be verfied online with the confirmation number and that you voted with your name attached to it!
I see no reason we have to have secret ballots and records should be in the open about voting choices at least for the individual.


No more cheating!

You know I actually don't know about the online thing. It is a major problem. I think we need transparency, but there are some issues. Any computer system is easy to rig, collect and use information. I admit it is a conundrum.

I admit our system is so messed up right now. However, greater transparency seems like the way to go, may have to sacrifice some things.

Maybe something like an electronic money counter would be easier. Then you are dealing w/ calibration.
