miriam_eThis article by Robert F. Kennedy Jr details many dirty tricks used by the Republicans to steal the election in USA in 2004.
There is a small window of opportunity here. They have stolen the election twice. The first time was obvious and easy for all to see. The second time was well coordinated and used multiple prongs of attack that made it harder to document. The next time will be far better designed and much more difficult to detect. If they continue with this USA will eventually get a violent backlash.
It needs to repaired now.
It scares me that our nasty conservative party are trying to get electronic voting machines here in Australia. The beauty (or horror) of such machines is that they leave no trail of dastardly deeds and are very easy to subvert.
