This book encapsulates years of research to provide what used to come from investigative journalists -- before mainstream corporate media cornered the market on misinformation and tabloid news. A loser can win a rigged election in America because counting the vote is now the privy of private enterprise. Allegations of election fraud are doused by a state of denial that it can't happen in the greatest democracy in the world. But fact after fact reveals that, just like the public airwaves, there is no Fairness Doctrine when it comes to elections.
Loser Take All equally blames Republican operatives, spineless Democrats, and a complacent Fourth Estate for turning our great republic into a renegade nation. There is a sliver of hope to return our government to We the People.

Groundbreaking New Book Documents Widespread Election Fraudby Jason Leopold Page 2 of 2 page(s)
http://www.opednews.com"Loser Take All" backed up by smoking gun evidence in the form of documents and on the record accounts from public officials and behind-the-scenes executives employed by e-voting companies. Perhaps no one has been passionate about this issue or has worked as hard to attract mainstream attention to the cause than bestselling author
Mark Crispin Miller and blogger Brad Friedman, who co-authored an essay for the book with voting rights advocate Michael Richardson.

“On the one hand, there's that all-too-human tendency to turn a blind eye to enormous threats because they're just too devastating to acknowledge.. Better, therefore, to pretend they don't exist,” Miller said. “This sort of blindness is, of course, well-known to therapists, who often have to struggle with it as they deal with families ravaged by addiction or domestic violence--families whose members can't and won't allow themselves to see that, for example, mommy is an alcoholic, or that daddy is a batterer. When they hear the awful truth, they just go deaf to it, and stay stone-blind to all the painful evidence that it is so.”
But if progressives are truly defined as a movement of change than it is the authors of
“Loser Take All,” including Larisa Alexandrovna, Paul Lehto, Steven Rosenfeld, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and a dozen others, who deserve the accolades for speaking up mightily and forcing the powers that be in Washington, D.C in the blogosphere, and in the media, to take note.
“Loser Take All” is indeed an important historical document; a damning indictment of the electoral process that also tells the real story of how Bush was “elected” to a second term. more at:
