Just got an email with great news - Virginians for Bernie!

[peacebird]

Regarding petitions to get Bernie on the ballot for the primary:

"We are well over the 200 minimum threshold needed in each congressional district, and way over the 5,000 statewide requirement. on election day alone, we collected 4,741 signatures. we stopped counting when we saw how far ahead of the game we were. i suspect that we topped the 12,000 mark."

It ends with 'if I were Hillary I would be worried about Virginians for Bernie!'

A proud day for Bernie supporters, especially in Virginia!

3. WOOT! I know two Virginians who are voting for Bernie. My sister and BIL, but

They're in the process of moving back to Illinois and will be voting here, which is unfortunate because VIRGINIA probably needs their votes more than Blue-ish (Repub asshole Governor) Illinois.

GO VIRGINIA! I hope Clinton's cohort, Terry McAuliffe, doesn't fix the election for her. Electronic Voting Machines?

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

4. Our new voting machines have a voter verifiable paper ballot which is read as it is inserted

Into the machine. The base of the machine is a vault that hoplds all the paper ballots in case they are needed to do a recount.

5. Optical Scanners. That's what we use in Illinois. They're hackable too though.

We need to go back to paper! The memory cards in Optical Scanners can be removed and reprogrammed for your candidate of choice. I don't trust ANY electronic voting machines. They're only reliable when the politicians are honest and Bernie and Elizabeth Warren are the only two honest politicians I know. The entire system is corrupt.

WE NEED TO VOTE ON PAPER WITH INK PENS/WATERPROOF SHARPIES.

Congrats getting Bernie on your ballot!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

6. Rats... And here I was feeling safe now that we have a paper trail....

7. Yes the tabulators are hackable

But the paper ballot is there. What needs to be done is a random audit of the tabulators before certification of the vote. 10% would be a good start and if anything is found, then expand the number of machines audited.

8. I read this “Virgins for Bernie!" and though, wow the young ones really do like him!

I need some more coffee.

10. I've been working with a local group to accomplish this task

They are extremely dedicated and excited about Bernie. Woot Woot!
