Opinion Piece: Give no quarter to voter fraud and suppression
Give no quarter to voter fraud and suppression
http://www.pww.org/article/articleview/6142/1/241
<snip>---
“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me” is an old saying that George W. Bush once bungled in a moment captured on film.

The saying could not be more relevant to this November’s election. If we, the working class, allow ourselves to be fooled and silenced in the face of massive voter fraud, we will be relinquishing our claim to legitimate and fair elections for years to come. This is the time to fight back, or shame on all of us.

The election of 2000 was fraught with voter suppression, the discarding of votes, and a Supreme Court that voted to install a president rather than have votes counted.

It is 2004 now. Here we are again. Will we sit by this time and allow our votes to be thrown away, be uncounted, be manipulated by corporate-owned voting machines that leave no paper trail, and agree to voter suppression in primarily Black and Brown voting precincts? Not if we view the vote as the bedrock of democracy in a representative republic.
