Monitoring the vote counting is an excellent idea; unfortunately it is not possible with electronic voting. There are some measures, such as noticing, as happened in Minnesota, if there are more votes than registered voters. Without a paper ballot we are without any means of verifying that people's votes were counted as they were cast. The sooner those who care about freedom come to realize that fact the sooner we will fix it. This nation will never fix if we lose our constitutional protections, which is happening at a frightening rate.

Should Brown lose this perhaps enough citizens would show concern that we could return to the only current verifiable mechanism, live people watching paper ballots be counted. We've seen the counts move in the direction of Democrats in Florida, Washington State, Minnesota, and in hundreds of previous elections which to few people cared about - or they simply assumed there were more people who wanted the other candidate. No one knows. That is the tragedy. Voting machines have been being ‘fixed’ for decades. Electronic voting is even easier to ‘fix’. Neither Dems or Republicans have pushed for verifiable voting. Does that mean the cheating goes on on both sides? What it means doesn't really matter, we need paper ballots. Monitors are of no use whatsoever.
