I'm normally a pretty politically laid-back kinda guy. I know what I like, but I don't usually get too crazy about it.

However, this article has made me so angry that I can hardly think straight.

Please read this article, everyone, regardless of your party loyalties. If you are a George Bush supporter, try to imagine if John Kerry had done (or arranged to have done) the things described in this article, and how you would feel today if he had won the 2004 election in this manner.

Feel free, hll, feel OBLIGATED to repost this in your journal and other forums. This was a total subversion of the American political process.

It's infuriating. Oh yes indeed. But what, honestly, can we do about it? The machine is so big and we are so small (and unorganized). I think the lack of outrage by People With Voices is probably the worst part. And it makes it so much harder for us to 'Bring Democracy to the World' when we can't even conduct our own elections without rigging them.

I do love the idea of receipts from electronic polling machines, even though it would probably never happen.
