sailorflatI don’t want to sound unsocial, but I think that paper ballots and voting by mail is the most logical solution.  Actually there still can be manipulation because an individual actually records your ballot.

Agree with your post, and to add two cents, I think a good way to reliably count paper votes would be to, each election year, bring in several English fluent non-Americans who don’t know anything about American politics to count our votes. The paper vote method should not go away…it should just be carried out by people who are unbiased.

This, along with implementing a required 90 page PCEPAT (Presidential Candidate Evaluation and Political Assessment Test—for Vice Presidential Candidates, VPCEPAT) to ensure people who run for President actually know how American politics works and what the Constitution says, will probably be the most important and effective additions to our election process.

I’m not joking either…I want to see an amendment for this type of required presidential evaluation test. Had these assessmentss been in effect, we’d probably have entirely different candidates.

Not to worry——you can only steal a close election.  Obama’s apparent landslide will eliminate any possibility of a stolen election.

Monday`s http://www.democracynow.org has a piece what may happen with this computer voting.  It may be rigged that you may vote for the opposite candidate…especially with this touch-screen.  It is a good video because Mark Crispin Miller says that you should complain and complain to those in charge, etc.
