Senators Clinton and Kerry Submit Open Voting Bill
An anonymous reader writes "DailyKos is reporting that a group of senators and representatives including Hillary Clinton, John Kerrry, and Tubbs Jones, have proposed an 'open-source' voting bill. This bill (The Count Every Vote Act of 2005) corrects many of the problems in the last election. Notably, it requires paper receipts, and that the source and object code of all electronic voting machines to be open and readable by the public. " Commentary on the bill available at the Miami Herald.
The article indicates that Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) are the primary proponents of this bill - though I'm sure Kerry also supports it.
This won't go anywhere. It's OBVIOUSLY part of the CONSPIRACY to get Hillary lawfully elected president in 2008- just like Hitler was lawfully elected in 1933.
And you know what happens then. They take all our guns away and our testicles shrink.
Thats why campaign contributions should only be able to be made by those legally able to vote.
OK but as I understand it the democrats had more campaign funding(George Soros, etc.) than the republicans, and they still lost!
No friends, I'm afraid most of the responsibility lies smack dab on the ignorance, laziness, and self-righteous arrogance of the average voting american. I'd actually feel safer with Homer Simpson deciding the next president than having to watch all those red state votes get counted up again in 4 years....talk about a recipe for despair.
The government has a defect: it's potentially democratic. Corporations have no defect: they're pure tyrannies. -Chomsky
Can you explain what is wrong with vote buying? We live in a democratic and market society, so why shouldn't people be allowed to sell their vote to the highest bidder? Seems a lot liek you are trying to force something onto people that they don't want.
No, the party of felons is the party of Delay. The party in bed with Enron. THAT'S the party of felons. And frankly, you've listed all the "oooo evil" felonies. But not all felons are rapists.
If you are a citizen and you pay taxes, you should have the right to vote. Priod. If you disagree with this, you don't believe in democracy. Are Republicans the Party of Tyranny?
If you want to live in Europe, fine...go. This is America. Capitalism lives. I want to make my own fortune, not sit back and wait for some government to give me what it sees fit. Darwinism lives in nature and politics. Bye, Bye Dems...
"Amendment II
/. for their constitutional law info.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Unequivocal. You have the right to keep and bear arms and that right shall not be infringed upon."

Unequivocal, huh? Except you LEFT OUT part of the amendment: "the right of the people to keep and bear arm in an organized militia being..."
Hmmm, maybe not so unequivocal after all.
Your other "interpretations" of the Constitution are of the same general self-serving quality. Good thing people don;t go to
... how are they going to rig elections over there if they get a better voting system? Next thing you know they'll be gettig rid of the electoral college... naaa.
If Google really cared they would fix Android Chrome to reflow text, instead of discriminating
The Democratic party needs its core constituents and fine patriots like Lynne Stewart to be able to vote when they get out of jail. It is crucial to the cause.
