American democracy: a shining city on a hill or gutter politics that steals votes and suppresses voter intent?
To about 60 people who gathered Saturday at the UW Humanities Building, it's more like the latter.
Sue West of Rockford, Ill., saw notice of the "No Stolen Elections" meeting on the Madison Area Peace Coalition's Web site. The meeting followed an anti-war rally that attracted 500 to 600 people to State Street and the Capitol.
"I think we need to protest this election no matter what Kerry does," said West, originally a Dennis Kucinich supporter. "I think it's fraud, pure and simple."
John Kerry conceded too quickly to suit many in the audience, with CNN reporting about 6 million ballots uncounted in the country.A young couple's matching "Skull and Bones" shirts showed they didn't rule out that maybe the Yale secret society has some very dark secrets.
