    I would be totally behind raising awareness of proper vote counting with paper ballots; except that is what I did for years in my state, at first inside the Democratic Party ; then later when that had no traction, outside of it.

    There is zero demand or push for better vote counting that I saw in the progressive wings of the Democratic Party. And equally few cares given by people in the republican side.

    I spoke to activists in minority communities and there is zero momentum there, and no appetite to take that on.

    In fact, it was such a sad experience for me, that it’s what inspired me to become a communist.

    I’ve experienced trying to raise awareness and it only raised my awareness, not others.
