If the United States can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to go fight an expensive war half the way around the globe then it can hold an election.
How you ask?
In nearly every democracy in the world ballots are counted by hand at
a precinct (booth) level. All you have to do is ask for their assistance and they will be more than willing to show you how to hold an election.
In the place of the counting machines your nation will clearly need an ARMY OF VOTE COUNTERS to be mobilised for the elections.
But if you start now this will be easy. And it will be good for democracy as millions of people get up close and personal with their ballots.
I am certain that your party and the GOP as well would have MILLIONS
OF VOLUNTEERS ready and willing to assist with making sure there is an accurate count of paper ballots for both the Primary and the Federal Elections in 2008. It is even possible that the vote counting will be faster than it is at present.
Dianne, you and your party need to act now to preserve US Democracy.
If you fail to do so then your party will be betraying its very name.
If you fail to do so then today 20th July 2007 will become the day you
wrote your political epitaph.
