Jonathan Simon, an articulate and popular member of the EI movement since 2005, head of the Election Defense Alliance and author of "Code Red," an ongoing saga, deplored the electronic systems we are stuck with. 3,143 counties in New York state don't have Columbia County's paragon.

"The Dutch took a whiff of our 2016 elections and went to paper ballots," he said--counted in public, observable.

THE ACTIVISTS AT THE LEFT FORUM HAVE AGENDAS THAT ALWAYS LOSE, WHILE THE GOP KEEPS WINNING, he said.

Our ballots can't be proprietary. They don't belong to ES&S. Democrats are part of the problem, not the solution. Karl Rove lost in 2012 because of Anonymous's intervention. [what a thing of beauty his hissy fit cut on the nationwide MSM, even Fox]

WE MUST HAVE SOMETHING OBSERVABLE AND PUBLIC IN 2018. WE ARE IN SUCH DEEP TROUBLE. ELECTIONS MAY GO AWAY. PEOPLE DIED FOR THEM. BUT DEMOCRACY BECAME SUBVERTED. WE BECAME THE ENEMY.

We must unwork, unpay our way out and consume even more moderately. Then we will have a participatory democracy.
