Following up to chriscol's
excellent diary about a Zogby poll that shows only 8% of Americans are nuts, here are some articles with specific poll questions and detailed results to share with your doubting friends:
Near Universal Demand to See the Votes Counted
In some states, members of the public have the right to view the counting of votes and verify how that process is working. In other states, citizens are in effect barred from viewing vote counting even if they would like to view the process. Which of the following two statements are you more likely to agree with - A or B?
Statement A: Citizens have the right to view and obtain information about how election officials count votes. 91.8%
Statement B: Citizens do not have the right to view and obtain information about how elections officials count votes. 5.9
Neither/Not sure 2.3
Most all likely voters (92%) agree that citizens have the right to view and obtain information about how election officials' count votes (Statement A). Just 6% feel citizens do not have this right (Statement B).

Black Box Voting forums and BradBlog, both of which have additional analysis.
With special thanks to Paul Lehto and Michael Collins for crafting and funding the poll.
