Democracy in America Has Officially Become a Privatized Circus
Pollster Mark Blumenthal Joins the Crowd of Folks Who Simply Don't Get It or Otherwise Just Don't Care

"Mystery Pollster" Mark Blumenthal follows up his recent post on the matter of the extraordinarily questionable results of Ohio's November 8th, '05 Elections. All four of the Election Reform initiatives on the ballot that day mysteriously and spectacularly failed to win approval in stark opposition to the pre-election polling by the historically accurate Columbus Dispatch which had predicted most of them would win by large margins.

In his latest article on the matter, he follows up by suggesting that citizens in Ohio take advantage of Public Records Laws in the state which allow for the examination of "paper ballots" 60 days after Election Results have already been certified by the state.

I THINK THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THREAT TO DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA. THIS ISSUE I DON'T BELIEVE HAS EVEN BEEN MENTIONED ONCE ON THE CORPORATE MSM. I TOO THINK THAT ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES MUST BE MADE ILLEGAL. THERE IS NO WAY TO BE SURE THERE ISN'T SOME SORT OF SOFTWARE IN THEM ALTERING THE VOTES. THEY CAN MAKE IT VERY SOPHISTICATED SO IT ISN'T EVEN THAT OBVIOUS.

I HOPE EVERYBODY ON DU READS THIS. BUT WHAT DO WE DO TO TURN THIS SITUATION AROUND? SEEMS LIKE EVEN THE POLITICIANS (SAVE THE ONES MENTIONED ON YOUR BLOG) DON'T REALIZE THIS IS A PYTHON ABOUT TO SWALLOW OUR DEMOCRACY.
