[QUOTE=Shodan] Or you can drop the subject quickly for lack of evidence, as you should have in 2004. [/QUOTE] Sorry, I hadn’t seen this gem before. So when the Democrats lose and claim fraud, they should shut up. But when the Democrats win and the **Republicans** claim fraud, the Democrats should bend over backward to investigate every complaint, right? Something is rotten in the state of Shodan. ---

We need a Federally mandated, funded and enforced set of voting standards. An economically disadvantaged man should have precisely the same access, convenience, and reliability as the comfortable. (Thirty minutes to vote in East L.A. while it takes twenty minutes in the Hamptons, no big hairy ass deal. Four hours/twenty minutes: not acceptable. Not even close.) Anybody want to guess which political persuasion is less inclined to make sure that poor folks can vote as easily as everyone else? That’s the biggest voter fraud, the fraudulent pretense that all voters are equal in their excercise of civil rights. Next to that, the common electoral shenanigans are jock itch compared to melanoma. ---
