Hi Sheila and all,
I agree with you that he could have made his recommendation clearer--he could have just inserted the words hand-counted prior to "paper ballots." Why he did not is a matter of speculation. Perhaps those writing emails to him, while acknowledging his good recommendations, could ask him why he did not plainly urge for hand-counted paper ballots.
Ted

>>Ted and all, hi
>>Yes, I saw that and wrote to MM about it and said he needed to make it
clearer
>>I feel he needed to say it clearer and stronger, because many people are
for paper ballots, and unless those paper ballots are counted by hand and
NOT by op scams (not a typo), it is irrelevant and it obfuscates the
issue. Many people, including very close friends of mine (who I
thought would know better), have told me so excitedly about paper ballots
being used over the years in this place and that place - not realizing
that op scams use paper ballots
>>Because I had read MM book back in 2008, I knew he was for hand-counting,
and I do wonder why he has not made this clearer in your quote
below. Because op scams are electronic voting machines too

go a long way toward fixing the core problems we now have. These include:
>>>a) A constitutional amendment that fixes our broken electoral system
by 1) completely removing campaign contributions from the political
process; 2) requiring all elections to be publicly financed; 3) moving
election day to the weekend to increase voter turnout; 4) making all
Americans registered voters at the moment of their birth; 5) banning
computerized voting and requiring that all elections take place on paper
ballots.

>>>On pages 135, 136, 137 in his book Mike's Election Guide 2008,
Michael Moore calls for hand-counted paper ballots (HCPB). He has
promised to write another paper to OWS about elections. I am
guessinghopingpraying it will include HCPB elections. He has asked for
comments to his last paper. PLEASE, write him now and remind him of his
own words.
