Both sides are guilty of just about anything you can mention. The side that is in power 
gets to do the most abuses, however.

Bit of trivia: gerrymandering is named in honor of a Democratic (Democratic-Republican) 
governor who created a salaMANDER-like district to support his slate of candidates.

Agreed.

That's why i stopped reading RFK jr's article...it was obviously a 
slanted hatchet job against one party. Biased, unobjective.

By the way, Rolling Stone is pretty much a main stream publication

it is now.

Perhaps it isn't at the top of the news because other media don't

credence to all those right wing nut jobs about 10 years ago who 
said that Bill and Hilary Clinton engaged in the cocaine trade and

Um, no. Read The Hunting of the President by
Joe Conason and Gene Lyons.

There is, of course, no need for the scare quotes around
documented in the case of the RFK piece.

Well , all I can say is, if Bush and the Republicans 
have the power to rig the elections, the Democrats are totally screwed. Forget 
about 2006, much less 2008. Basically what this tells me is that really loyal 
Democrats are thinking in the backs of their minds, "we need to think of a 
better way to rig the elections in our favor!" If one party thinks they are 
being cheated and can't do anything about it, they most likely are going to look 
for a better way to cheat the other without getting 
caught.

 No I didn't but I heard Palast on a lot of talk radio recently on the 
 subject. I have no less than three progressive radio stations in the 
 area so I hear a lot of stuff on those shows. I'll have to take a look 
 at interview. I used to have the Dish Network satellite which broadcast 
 a lot of Democracy Now interviews on the FreeSpeechTV channel.

Perhaps it isn't at the top of the news because other media

10 
years ago who said that Bill and Hilary Clinton engaged in 
the 
cocaine trade and routinely murdered their opponents...
   
   That was crap. This ain't. And it's dead easy to
   tell the difference IF YOU READ THE PIECE.
  
  I've read enough...but, yes, I will try to read the rest.
  
  Have you read all the crappy stuff on the Clintons? All of that 
  was documented as well.
 
 Um, no. Read The Hunting of the President by
 Joe Conason and Gene Lyons.
 
 There is, of course, no need for the scare quotes around
 documented in the case of the RFK piece.



Here's my problem with the RFK jr. piece...and why I stopped reading 
it.

The piece dealt with a problem that is widespread in the US: there 
is not one election taking place, as the piece citess, but 13,000 
different ones. Each of those jurisdictions runs their own election 
process with their own rules.

THAT'S the problem...not that the Republicans bent the rules to 
their favour, 'cause the Dem's do it when they can do it, too.

So once I got to that part of the article I said to myself: why read 
the rest when I know where it's going; this Democratic partisan -- 
RFK jr.-- is going to make it seem as if the Republicans are the bad 
guys and stole the election when the problem is the system.

Did RFK jr. cite the problems with Illinois and West Virginia that 
many felt were responsible for stealing the election for his uncle 
in '60 when he ran against Nixon?

Probably not.

So, notwithstanding the very important issue of these 13,000 
different elections, I'm not interested in reading what some 
partisan had to say about it. I got the general gist of it and 
bailed.

Now, if I'm off base here and there was something ELSE in the 
article of importance, share it with me, by all means.

Yeah, especially since they were really good at it back in the '60s

There's that famous quote by Joe Kennedy when in response to son

influence, his father responded (paraphrased): Does Jack think 
money grows on tress? I'll buy Jack the election but I won't buy him 
a landslide.

Did you get this far (4th and 5th paragraphs of
the article)?

Any election, of course, will have anomalies. America's voting system 
is a messy patchwork of polling rules run mostly by county and city 
officials. ''We didn't have one election for president in 2004,'' 
says Robert Pastor, who directs the Center for Democracy and Election 
Management at American University. ''We didn't have fifty elections. 
We actually had 13,000 elections run by 13,000 independent, quasi-
sovereign counties and municipalities.''

But what is most anomalous about the irregularities in 2004 was their 
decidedly partisan bent: Almost without exception they hurt John 
Kerry and benefited George Bush

Farther down the page:

But as the evening progressed, official tallies began to show 
implausible disparities -- as much as 9.5 percent -- with the exit 
polls. In ten of the eleven battleground states, the tallied margins 
departed from what the polls had predicted. In every case, the shift 
favored Bush

...Ihe greatest disparities between exit polls and the official vote 
count came in Republican strongholds. In precincts where Bush 
received at least eighty percent of the vote, the exit polls were off 
by an average of ten percent. By contrast, in precincts where Kerry 
dominated by eighty percent or more, the exit polls were accurate to 
within three tenths of one percent

''When you look at the numbers, there is a tremendous amount of data 
that supports the supposition of election fraud,'' concludes Freeman 
[a research methodology expert who says he hates the 
Democrats]. ''The discrepancies are higher in battleground states, 
higher where there were Republican governors, higher in states with 
greater proportions of African-American communities and higher in 
states where there were the most Election Day complaints. All these 
are strong indicators of fraud -- and yet this supposition has been 
utterly ignored by the press and, oddly, by the Democratic Party.'


In the rest of the article, RFK cites many specific
instances of various types of irregularities (not
just the exit poll discrepancies) in which the massive
majority resulted in more votes for Bush and fewer for
Gore.

If it weren't for this glaring disparity, you could
explain away the irregularities as business as usual
with both parties tweaking a flawed, fragmented system
to their own advantage. If this were the case, you
would expect to see a roughly equal number of
irregularities that helped each candidate.

...and it was this last line that pretty much told me that the rest

Almost without exception. Out of 13,000 jurisdictions and almost 
without exception they hurt Kerry and benefitted Bush? Please.

Perhaps the examples that RFK jr. was going to show indicated that 
but to suggest such a one-sided bias is, simply, absurd.

If it's NOT absurd, then why bother reading more anyway? He's 
pretty much told us what's going to be in the rest of the piece.

Let RFK jr. write about the '60 election first...THEN I'll consider 
reading this one.




 
 Farther down the page:

Let a NON partisan -- someone other than the fanatical RFK jr. --

 So... you want them run by Democrats?


I want them open sourced, or for there to be more choices, or both. The current state of 
affairs is appalling, no matter who is in control.

Well, that's about the silliest thing I think you've
ever said here.

 Almost without exception. Out of 13,000 jurisdictions
 and almost without exception they hurt Kerry and benefitted 
 Bush? Please.
 
 Perhaps the examples that RFK jr. was going to show indicated that 
 but to suggest such a one-sided bias is, simply, absurd.

It's thoroughly documented, Shemp. He's not suggesting
anything, he's telling you what the facts are.

 If it's NOT absurd, then why bother reading more anyway? He's 
 pretty much told us what's going to be in the rest of the piece.
 
 Let RFK jr. write about the '60 election first...THEN I'll consider 
 reading this one.

Non sequitur.

snip
 Sorry, I just don't buy it.

River in Egypt.

 Let a NON partisan -- someone other than the fanatical RFK jr. -- 
 champion this cause and maybe I'll give it more credence.

Well, of course he isn't a fanatic. And of course
you've ignored all the confirmation he's obtained
from nonpartisan experts and Republicans (not to
mention the one who hates Democrats).

You ought to read the article. A great deal of the

Good for him.

He'll almost certainly be on MSNBC's Countdown with 
Keith Olbermann (8:00 pm, rerun at midnight), if not
tonight, then in the next week at some point. Olbermann
was the only newscaster on cable *or* the networks to
really focus on the voting problems and is quoted in
the article.

And then maybe the ex-heroin addict can share some of his other kookie

No doubt, but they're the easiest thing to address, and there is potential for abuse for 
whomever is in power at any time, so they need to be taken care of ASAP. Failure to do so, 
only indicates a desire for the other side to exploit things also, IMHO.

Well, of course they do. The point is there are very
many more things that need to be taken care of as well,
most of it low-tech.

 Failure to do so, 
 only indicates a desire for the other side to exploit things also, 
 IMHO.

Oh, gee, that's a really silly thing to say, Lawson.
