He cautioned that the GAO cannot enforce the law if voting irregularities are found, noting that state officials regulate elections and the Justice Department prosecutes voting rights violations and election fraud.

But it IS important to document just how corrupt and undemocratic the U.S. electoral system is -- and to further undermine the legitimacy of the Bushista regime.

reserved to, and regulated by, the states.2 Thus, many of the issues relating to the
recent election are primarily the responsibility of state and local jurisdictions, since
they involve the implementation of state law and regulation. As a result, general
questions concerning these issues, as well as specific allegations of voting
irregularities, should be addressed to state and local officials, such as the Secretary of
State or the State Attorney General.
