Obama Lost Millions of Votes and Could have Lost the election: COunt The Ballots by Hand for Preside
- por: A Citizen of the United States

Software counted the votes and did not allow millions to vote who are lawful citizens and pay their taxes. Registration data bases can be updated much quicker today, but antiquated protocol and existing legislation prevents American Citizens from voting, voting once anywhere in the U.S., and having their vote counted. Elections are the people's business, a venture that is definately not for profit or those with conflicts of interests in the election result to count the votes, as is done today by corporations, Republican owned corporations.
Today the euphoria of Obama's win is still strong, but what if McSame and Palin had won? We do not have an election system that works well. Further, the election system is corporate based. People are not part of the process beyond working in campaigns and polls on election day.
I voted on a paper ballot and then was a presiding judge in an election poll on election day. I felt great when Obama won. I knew that up to 20% of registered voters did not vote in the U.S. because they were taken off the registration books, they were in the wrong precinct or county and couldn't vote or their provisional ballots were not counted. But today I saw this video:

It shows Military Industrial Complex (MIC) corporations called Sea Wolf and Automated Election Services (AES) were contracted to count our votes and canvass the election. AES subcontracted Sea Wolf, possibly illegally and certainly unethically, to count the votes.
Outrageous, not just the fact that every Secretary of State contracts corporations, but frequently Repubilcan or MIC biased corporations, to canvass state votes.
Do you think this is the people's business?
Do you think people should count a smaller paper ballot that could be handed out with a large scannable ballot or in combination with other voting mechanisms, i.e. touchscreen or lever voting machines, and the smaller ballot put into a smaller ballot box to be counted in the poll on election day? In New Mexico the County Clerk in Bernalillo County did research with the Univerity of Utah, the University of New Mexico, and MIT at Berkley to find the best way to hand count paper ballots. They found that hand counting 2 races took less time than it took to scan the ballot through the M-100 ES&S tabulator. If waited till mid day and started counting the ballots in the smaller box and then after counting them placed them in a locked ballot box, we would have a completely independent canvass of the vote from the MIC and Corporate American canvass of the votes. That way we would have a hand counted and witnessed talley of the votes for the most important races of president and congress to compare the corporate electronic software based totals with.
Do you value your right to vote enough to count ballots and produce a people centered election result ? Today we should use computers to create a statewide data base so anybody from any county could vote and not be able to vote twice that is registered. Registration could be same day as voting and the poll calls the County Clerk and updates the data base, with confirmation of two forms of legal ID showing the same address, that would allow people to register and vote on the same day-AND not vote twice. If this system was nationalized, with enough servers, people could vote anywhere in the US with the same criteria.
The Constitution declares the power of the government resides in the hands of the people and elections are how we transfer that power to our government. Shouldn't our government assure, assist, and provide services to maximize the ability to vote and have their vote counted? We need national and federal election standards.
We need to separate our votes and counting them from existing MIC and Corporate American protocol and people should count votes for president and congress, at the very least. Is democracy worth it to you to count a few races on election day by hand?

We the People should count the people's votes, not just leave it to Corporate America. We need 2 independent canvasses of the election results for the 2 most important races for president and congress. Today electronic machines and software run by corporations, frequently Military Industrial Complex corporations, count our votes.
The most important part of any democracy is the election. People should participate in their democracy enough to count ballots for the most important races. We should use computers to help register and check to see people are legitimate voters and can not vote twice.
We need federal and national standards, so it is time to have the debate and participate in our Constitutional power over our government, instead of giving it away with our apathy.
Thanks for voting, now lets work on getting more people to vote and counting the votes better.
