Do you care if your vote is NOT counted?

Question

CNN Lou Dobbs warns: "As of right now, there is little assurance your vote will count. As we've been reporting almost nightly on my broadcast for more than a year, electronic voting machines are placing our democracy at risk. 15 states have no mandate to protect your vote. Others have had many errors in the system, such as Bush receiving 3000 votes where there were six voters, and fraud not detected until after election.

Across the nation, eight out of every 10 voters will be casting their ballots this November on new electronic voting machines that were foisted on the nation under a new Law by Neocons (who own the machines). And these machines time and again have been proven vulnerable to tampering and error, and many with no voter-verified paper trail. There are four main manufacturers of electronic voting systems, none of which has been demonstrated to be more secure than the others, Dobbs asserts. Do you care?
