When we cast our votes is there any way to assure that the candidate we selected gets counted properly distributed?  With the various manipulations that have been going on, it really is not who you vote for that counts but who is in charge of counting the votes that will determine the winner.  Those who represent us go to Washington and forget everything that they promised to do as our representatives and work for their own re-election and to pay back those who contributed to their campaigns.  Technology has introduced a number of new issues that we must confront. From the equipment that is used, the servicing of the equipment, the security that we depend on to count, record and transmit our votes is there any way to secure our physical votes that will be cast in this election cycle.
