Here's my outside-the-box proposal for amending election procedures. For any election where the first count results in less than a one half of one percent margin of victory, rather than recount or contest or whatever, we should decide the winner by coin toss.

What would it take to set up an Intranet for each state, where you register and open up a voting account and get a password? On election day, you go to the polls with your password and get another password from election officals to vote.

This way, there is an audit trail - with very heavy penalties for fraud.

As it is, we have Diebold getting paid for setting up voting machines that have no audit trail. Also there is no oversight as to how Diebold programs the machines and no one monitors the background of those Diebold hire to do the programming.
