Our voting system, which is part of the public commons has recently been privatized. When this happened, the counting of the votes, which must be a public process, subjected to the scrutiny of many eyes of plain old citizens, became a secret.

The computerized systems that register voters, will soon sign voters into the polling place using a digital smart card, record the vote we cast, and tally it are now so secret they are not allowed to be examined by any citizens group, or even by academics like the computer scientists at major universities.
Concerned citizens across America must familiarize themselves with this issue NOW. We MUST get the word out to our elected representatives, family members, friends, neighbors and associates - our right to vote and who counts (controls) our vote is at stake - this issue is central to American (or any) democracy.
