Yeah, OK, we're all sick of hearing about vote fraud, voter intimidation, etc. The right thinks we raised it as an issue because we're sore losers. The left just wants it to go away so they can go back to licking their wounds and blocking the whole traumatic election out of their minds.
But hey. Vast right wing conspiracy or not, our voting system is broken. To my right-wing friends, just because you got the result you wanted doesn't mean the system is working properly.
As a public service, allow me to point the way to 102 pages of enumerated, documented and researched problems on the off chance you still think there's nothing really going on here. I'm not going in for conspiracy theories, in that I've yet to see anything that credibly indicates a centralized, organized effort to disenfranchise left-leaning voters.
But this doesn't mean the system isn't broken ... horribly broken. And since HAVA it's only gotten worse.
What's so wrong with fighting for democracy?
