Is anyone else as concerned as I am that the fundamental ground-game changes the Republicans have put into place over the last eight years will make all of our efforts a moot point.  Please don't get me wrong, I'm donating, actively volunteering via phones and door-to-door, and all-around excited about the Obama-Biden ticket, however, I have this nagging fear that it is all for naught.  To my knowledge, the electronic voting machines, such as the ones we use in Texas, still do not produce a paper trail.  Does anyone have more intimate knowledge about this situation?  Who can allay my fears?
