It sounds like you're creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place.

I, like so many others that I've read about and talked to, am sick to my stomach with the destruction of our nation's "political process", if it ever was one. These people that make up the constituency of cheaters, liars, and vote fixing will do anything to repeat the whole Bush episode in 2000. It seems that the only thing that these types of people will listen to is revolution. Yes, I said it! All out, gun slinging, bomb dropping, throat cutting civil war. This seems to be what they desire. Obviously, if they think that the rest of the masses are not going to be moved to this point eventually, then they are not thinking at all. Do the math. Once every one realizes that there is no longer diplomacy, rules or sense of fair play, then we will begin to see a state of lawlessness not unlike what we see in the papers every day. Explosions every where, people doing the unthinkable to one another. Look at the middle east, it is where we are headed. This is how the masses of people are feeling and what they are about ready to do to exact some sense of fairness. Especially once they become aware of the illnumiatis' ultimate plan of reducing the world's population through the devaluation of our food; Thus weakening our immune systems so that we seem to suddenly die off (thinking that it's God's plan) and not knowing that it is a function of gradually giving up our rights as responses to these contrived fear dramas planned, played out, and exacted by the very group that is currently deciding things. Just like 911. Just like what we will see more of in the near future!

This is the October surprise!
damn it. I've been warning people that Rove and the ususal suspects are "too cool" this time. They are openly criticzing McCain and casually deflecting attention from the left. This behavior had me convinced that voter fraud was upon us. I was wrong in concentrating on DieBold software fixing.

Nope, they just quietly used inside clout to mislead registrars into cancelling new young and democratic voters!!!
It seems so late to correct. GOD SAVE US!!!

Dear Greg Palast,

Sorry, I'm not a donor nor American but I believe in your defense of one person one vote, a basic of democracy. I know you are well aware of unprincipled politics in my country, by your (great - and illuminating) book: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. There, your sting on New Labour earned you a ridiculous discrediting that Private Eye satirised: greatly amusing.

No doubt sympathy is cheap but I have to comment on how hard you worked on exposing fraud in the 2000 Presidential election, with no benefit to yourself. And all Al Gore could do was be "despicably gracious" as you put it. Not that I doubt he deserved his consolation Nobel prize for An Inconvenient Truth - but democrats know it is not the only inconvenient truth that needs to be addressed for the well-being of all.

I think politics has become so reactionary against democracy, that the basic case may have to be made all over again.
On my website about Democracy Science, which is what I'm trying to tell you about, much of it is about promoting or progressing democracy with an all-purpose electoral system that meets the standards of scientific method.
And also the need for second chamber representation of all occupations for Equality of Lobbying. The second chamber check of economic experience on the first chamber of political laws is the way science works by checking theory with practise.

This is just to give an idea of democratic progress that needs to be made, instead of always having to be on the defensive against reactionaries destroying what little democracy we have.

Thankyou for reading this.
