If Democrats use electronic voting machines to cast their ballots, Democrats will lose. You care about racism? Forget about unseating Allen. You care about money for influence? Forget about unseating friends of Abramoff. Are you working hard on GOTV? Forget about making a difference.
Do you want to stop future efforts to legalize torture? Do you want to protect habeas corpus? Do you want to maintain separation of church and state? Do you want to prevent the further distruction of our democracy? Do you want to stop the genocide in Darfur? Forget about it. Forget about all of it.
None of our efforts matter if Democrats will be casting ballots on electronic voting machines. By now you have probably seen this video by Princeton students and the Rolling Stone article about the threat to fair elections, but if not, you've got to go there:

We have six weeks to solve these problems. If we don't, just think about the bombs the Republicans will be dropping over the next two years. Think about the fresh killings. Think about the torture. Think about the innocent people who will be locked up indefinitely without charges.
If we don't make plenty of paper ballots available in every polling place in the country in this upcoming election, just six weeks away, none of the work you've done will matter. Just forget about it.
Who is working on this? What are we going to do? How do we get paper ballots in every polling place?
