SELLtheVOTE.COM is a teaser, a decoy action for the real art action
*THE*AGENCY* [for Election Recounts] taking place in Graz. There,
ubermorgen will sell authentic Florida absentee ballots [ordered
via Overseasvote2004.com with stolen social security numbers]. The
visitors of the gallery will buy and fill out Ballots which they
think are fake, but actually they are voting for the next U.S. President
on a valid Ballot from Florida; therefore they commit a crime -
a felony under american law - without even knowing about it. *THE*AGENCY
will protect the buyers by having them wear gloves, mask, bodysuit
and a hairnet to minimize the risk of leaving traces on the ballot
or envelope [fingerprints, hair, saliva].

machine registers a voter's selection both electronically and on
a paper ballot. second, the machine then displays the paper ballot
behind clear glass or plastic so that the voter can review their
selection, but not take the ballot home by mistake. If the voter's
selection doesn't agree with the ballot or the voter makes a mistake,
the voter can call a poll worker to void the ballot, and then revote.
ink only, insert ballot. Uber-tomorrow - the day after tomorrow.
