I don’t ususally like to troll around about US politics becasue there are so many people on the left and right that have dedicated there lives to it but I was just reading an article by Robert Kennedy titled Was the 2004 Election Stolen?. Yikes, here in canada if there is even a hint of voting irregularity it causes a scandal large enough to topple a governemnt. In this article Kennedy says that justl ooking at the exit polls is enough to make you wonder. Exit polls are very accurate and these ones showed that the election was going to Kerry in a big way.
So if you look at the exit polls then these people thought they voted for Kerry and in the end the votes eid not show up. One of several problems seems to be that it was much harder for a democratic voter to actually get ot vote but apparently if they did vot the vote did not get counted at all.
With all of the big money invloved in US presidential campaigns you knwo that there are going to be some swaying of the votes. In a few months we will get ot see just how broken the American voting system is and if it really matters if Americans vote at all in the next presidential election.
Maybe now is the time to put UN observers into place to observe US elections, we have watched Jimmy Carter do this all over the world it would be fun to watch some frenchmen observing US citizens voting.
hehehe, I like this political discourse it is a lot of fun poke, poke poke
