Hello everyone,
I humbly ask a favor of you: Google "Ron Paul", do some research, and lets bring back our Constitution. I don't want my kid and his kids to be chipped, scanned, tracked, and deprived of all liberty. the link below is very eye opening and shocking. If you believe that the truth will set you free, and you love our country please take some time out of your busy day and learn the truth. May you all be blessed.

I would prefer Paper Ballots ,and better yet I think if we each signed our ballots ,get rid of secret ballots, secret organizations, especially secret govt, What are they hiding??? Secret courts, secret organizations of ALL KINDS can't be good. Lots of voters are proud to let you know who they are for, so why not signed ballots,they could be checked for crookery. Wouldn't you like to make sure that your vote counts? I believe that Ross Perot won the election the time he ran for President ,and Al Gore won the time he ran, but this election business does need straightening out for sure, lots of crooks in high places(low places):wink:

People here in Colorado did not get to vote at our last election because of the failure of the electronic voting machines here. People waited in line for up to 6 hours to vote. It was a total mess. I always vote via mail so I already had mine in but many had to just go home as they could not wait the full time. That is why I am happy about it.

Yes, any election can be manipulated. We have seen it with GW already twice. But I have to believe in my election process here or I may as well leave this country.

Paper ballots are always good, electronic voting, as you pointed out really only adds more complications, and at least with paper ballots there is a paper trail. I like though how some states using electronic voting use paper print outs as well, it'd be nice to have electronic voting with this print out record across the board and to keep plain paper ballots on hand as back up in the event of such failures;^]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember Ross Perot withdrawing from the race long before the elections actually came up. He was an independant runner, and decided to step down from the race. He did come back into the race near the end, but people did NOT vote for him because of his inability to decide if he wanted to run for President.

SMO I find your train of thought more than a little hard to follow. Did you perhaps play hockey before the mandatory helmet rule? laugh

smo.....

No way did Ross Perot win the presidential election. My son was heavily involved in that election .... a top party official .... travelled all over the country. There was never a rumor to the effect that Perot won. You are a majority of one in that thinking.

I am editing this to make a P.S.

Daniel --- You are correct. Perot did drop out, then re-enter and as a result, he lost many votes since people lost their confidence in a man who was in, then out, then back in again.
