249. YES... Overtly and Covertly

How are we supposed to "move on to 2006" if we can't be assured of a more level playing field?

We've always had the big money advertising smears everyone can see and point to and analyze, but there is much more we ought to examine, document and publicize to help future voters.

Overt-- voter intimidation, disinformation efforts, "no need" to count all votes and review "spoiled" ballots, vote challenge squads to delay voting process

Covert== electronic fraud, variety of techniques, scattered broadly
