Let's Start a Conspiracy for Truth

I don't believe some of the stories, even if John Diebold was "committed to helping delivering Ohio's electoral votes."

But I do believe the whole process of voting and tracking and auditing voting can become more efficient and transparent. The New York Times editorial board does too.

I'm not sure if I believe we need to have a holiday to vote, especially if there is the opportunity for early voting as one of the twelve points posits, but most all of the NY Times arguments make sense to me.

In a closely divided political world, we cannot depend on a margin for error when it comes to counting votes. We have four years now to make things right.

I think one of the first jobs of progressive — even of regressive — activists, would be to make sure our votes count.

Sure 120 million is a lot of votes, but when you break it down to 500 person precincts it doesn't look so hard. My four-year old can't count to 500 yet, but I'm sure she'll be able to in four years. Maybe she can help.
