[Vision2020] line item veto

Why even talk about fairness in national elections?

In the last City of Moscow election between 360 and 520 ballots were 
allegedly not even counted.  Many that were counted were allegedly 
miscounted.  In my opinion, seats on the city council were stolen from 
Craine and Carscallen.

Until the sleepy electorate awakens and very loudly insists that systems are 
put into place to insure that every voter's vote is correctly sensed and 
correctly tallied, it is foolish and hypocritical to speak of the "will of 
the people."

If we can't insure fair, accurate elections on the local level, what chance 
is there of ever achieving them on the state and national level?

A mourner of democracy lost,
