Comment :  My trust in the government of the US is at the lowest ebb ever.  I see  
fraud and crooked activity everywhere I look in this culture and our  
elections are the worst.  Any machine can be rigged, computers are the  
easiest to rig, and in the political paradigm in which we live I don't  
believe we will ever have a legitimate and fair election.  I support  
broad, very broad, reforms.  I support the use of paper ballots only with  
open to public counting of the votes with citizen checks of the count.  I  
want an honest election in this nation but I don't think it will ever  
happen.  This effort has a long way to go to make it real.  Any computer  
system for our elections without open source code is evidence that it is  
not honest and will be used for fraud.  More and more people know that and  
if we want a legitimate election we will have to have a much better bill  
than this one.  Under the 14th amendment, section 2, the election should  
have gone to Kerry anyway.  But of course we live under the rule of a  
crooked system so honest elections will not happen.
