Remember the 2000 election, here? What a mess! With such technologies available, one would think that the system could be nationalized, making the voting process easier and more tamper proof. But then again, maybe not. I'm sure you remember, even in Italy, the hanging and dimpled chads of the 2000 election. Voter surpression, especially in some communities, has been an old dirty trick to prevent the elecotrate from voting. Such were the claims in Florida during that infamous 2000 election.<BR/><BR/>This ACORN business from what I can tell has more to do with employees frauding the organization more than an attempt to derail democracy. Workers are paid by the hour and the more people you register, of course, the more money you receive. <BR/>Considering that many of these people are dead and fictional (i.e., Mickey Mouse), there is no that they will not be coming to the voting booths on November 4. <BR/><BR/>Today, the Supreme Court sides against the Appeals Court in Ohio that sided with the Ohio Republican Party. This Party wanted the Secretary of State, who is a Democrat, to in essence call into question the registration of many Americans. Democrats thought that would create barriers and challenges for the electorate.<BR/><BR/>Some others may have WAY MORE knowledge on all of this stuff than I.
