    Gotta say, "Occupy Democrats" may be the stupidest name in political history.

    From your own source.

    "At this time it is difficult to dispute that the voting machines were indeed tampered with, but what is not known is if they were tampered with before the election or after. There is no timeline to know when the machines were originally issued, or if they were used in previous elections."

    Sounds like these voting machines needed a safe space.

    Uhhh, the seals are for a manufacturer warranty if the machines break. Whatever those machines are they look as old as shit so probably out of warranty anyway. That doesn't look like a seal you would see on your gas pump that verifies you aren't getting ripped off by the gas station.

    Fuck I love Oregon's voting system. Ballot comes right to my house. I can vote in the privacy of my home safely, on a paper ballot.

    The only thing I don't like about the Oregon system is you do not have any sort of identification on your ballot. It's all on the outside. So some seedy individual COULD tamper with your ballot and we have no way of tracking it.

    You can get complete tracking of your ballot via text and email if you sign up for it.

    I just checked for WashCO and you can see if it was received but it doesn't tell you who they counted it for. So half-way there! But still good stuff.

    If there was going to be fraud with votes it would have happened this year with the increase in the corporate tax. No one would have blinked twice because the assumption would have been that all if the people who voted for Hillary also voted for the tax.

    Yeah I hear you. I am not insinuating any wrong doing. I was just thinking of better ways to have accountability for the vote and tracking for the citizens. Then things like recounts would be a thing of the past.

    Didn't you hear? the recount actually founded that votes in other states were counted wrong, and Donald won Oregon too!

    That would actually be very troubling if true and would require the scrapping of our voting process in the state.

    Wisconsin recount so far:

    Day 4 totals:
    Trump gained 356 votes
    Trump lost 246 votes
    Trump net gain on day 4: 110 votes

    Clinton gained 296 votes
    Clinton lost 225 votes
    Clinton net gain on day 4: 71 votes

    Thus, Trump has inched ahead by another net 39 votes as of day 4 of the recount.

    Edit: and for the dingle berries that want proof. http://elections.wi.gov/node/4513
