voting your conscience

A novel concept, especially in the context of this current impeachment inquiry, that is often not chosen by Senators and Representatives due to disabling fear of either not being re-elected by their constituents or reprisals on the part of the Mobster in Chief should he be re-elected for a second term.

Senator, have you thought about the possibility of voting your conscience as an act of true leadership?

Troll Voting

Voting for a candidate, not because you think they're the best, but because you know it would piss off the people who oppose that candidate if you do.

If you're gonna be troll voting for Donald Trump just because yo don't like SJWs, then you're not voting for the right reason.

voting machine

A device that records the choices of voters in an election. It can take several forms:

---
1. A mechanical device, where the voter flips small levers next to the candidates' names to indicate their choices, then pulls a big lever to record the votes. Considered very difficult to hack.

---
2. A direct-recording electronic (DRE) machine. May print vote totals on paper, but there is no way for a voter to verify that his/her votes were accurately recorded. Unlike mechanical voting machines, DRE machines are extremely vulnerable to fraud and malware that can steal a percentage of votes, reassigning them to the rigged candidate.

---
3. An electronic machine that lets the voter make choices, then PRINTS AN ACTUAL FILLED-OUT PAPER BALLOT, which the voter can review and either discard (and start over) or cast. THE PAPER BALLOT IS THE OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE VOTE.

Ballots can be quickly counted by optical scanning technology. (Voters could also choose to fill in a blank ballot by hand.) Importantly, ballots can be RECOUNTED, by hand if necessary.

Counts from the voting machines need not be trusted as anything more than quick estimates or "exit polls". This scheme makes it difficult to commit the large-scale fraud so easy to do invisibly with paperless DRE machines.

A number of Diebold electronic voting machines have been in the news, first for criminally incompetent software and database design, leaving vote records wide open to undetectable tampering, more recently for vulnerability to "computer virus" style malware that can spread from machine to machine through the data cards used to collect voting data.

Making such electronic voting machines widespread is the perfect way to lay the groundwork for large-scale, invisible voter fraud.

There's plenty of information on this on the Web. A good place to start: the Coalition for Voting Integrity, www.coalitionforvotingintegrity.org .
