Whenever Republicans start crying about voter or election fraud you can bet your life it's because they are in the process of committing the frauds themselves and need to take the heat off themselves. The problem is having the parties run the elections. We need independent officials running all elections with no input from the parties at all, from districting to setting up polling places and we need national rules and all paper ballots. That's the only way the fraud is going to stop. Then we also need to make it easier for shutins, elderly and disabled who can't physically stand in line to vote, maybe make absentee voter forms available at nursing homes and apartment buildings where elderly and disabled reside.
Maybe someone could start putting these kinds of things on ballots across the country so we can fix this. Anyway I hope so.

The irony in all this is that it was the Republican Gov. Robert Ehrlich who was one of the first to directly challenge the privatization of Maryland's election system by Diebold. At the time, he wrote to the chairman of that state's Board of Elections, stating "that the voters of Maryland should be allowed to vote a paper ballot..."

We need to return to PAPER BALLOTS and HAND COUNTING until such time as ALL electronic black boxes have completely transparent and incorruptible software and offer at least an audit trail if not a redundant audit trail.

FIRST SECURE OUR ELECTIONS. Then kick out those who were 'elected' by fraud... like Prosser in Wisconsin.

Incredible ... again.

It seems to me that the odds are, when today's GOP rages about some complaint, they are mired in the very things they complain the loudest about.

Psychological projection at the group level, I guess.

This is the best blog reporting on election fraud issues in the U.S. Election reformer in Washington state is running for director of elections in the state's largest county and will need contributions for a successful campaign:
