46. Again, I don't buy this argument for 1 reason.
Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 04:27 PM by Daftly
The major democrats running for office are silent. They are no fools, and they have connections. If there were truly widespread fraud, they would only be talking about the fraud. You cannot win a rigged game. Why would they play if they thought it was rigged? Obviously, they don't think there was enough fraud to make a difference.

If this is a non-issue and we divert significant resources from winning elections into chasing this red herring we will lose again in '06. It is a self-fulfilling prophesy. By claiming the game is fixed, many of our people will not bother to vote because they will believe their vote does not count.

I'll believe this is an issue when Dean, Hillary, Kerry, and Gore put this at the top of their agendas. Until contenders in major elections make voting reform the top priority, I am unconvinced anything is amiss.
