Ukraine considering a NEW election

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/11/27/ukraine/

Ant the "winner" won by 3.5% which is better than bush did. Unfortunately no democrat has been calling for new elections here - of course it's tough to do that when our candidate concedes within hours of the polls closing.

5. yeah that goes well too (sarcasm mode ON)

Look at Afghanistan's election process which was done with thumb prints. There were cries of fraud there too.

How are we gonna get this right????? (lets start with getting the media to cover it!)

6. That's what democrats should be demanding

Paper and pen. Most americans are not even aware of the controversy over electronic voting. Lord knows the media has pretty much blacked out the issue.

7. Good for them

I saw them voting on TV, they have paper ballets, that they drop in big clear plastic containers. The containers are in the middle of the room so you couldn't drop a bunch in there.

As happy as I am for them, it makes me more unhappy about us. The difference is, they have lived under oppressive governments. So naturally they would fight it. We haven't and to many people won't believe what is coming.
