Failure to be *able* to assure that this *didn't* happen in that podunk county would make an important point. There have already been reports of electronic votes being reported, mysteriously, before the election precincts closed. We know the results are often fixed, but reporting the results before the polls are closed sorts of makes the point obvious even to the sheeple. But, like the current hullaballoo about spam and telemarketing, the larger issues are not being discussed. Providing more sound bites about why Washington needs to be more successfully targeted by Al Qaida, with a lot more destruction than the paltry efforts we saw on 9/11, is boring. The focus of this list in recent months on political lobbying activities is wrong-headed. We need to be working on ways to make Big Brother powerless, either through technology or through destroying his nests and his tens of millions of helpers.

Take advantage of a blog's temporal immediacy and pick an election somewhere. Then chronicle the fraud as it progresses. Failure to be *able* to assure that this *didn't* happen in that podunk county would make an important point. I believe you are correct.
