10/25/06 "Yes" -- -- A nasty little secret of American democracy is that, in every national election, ballots cast are simply thrown in the garbage. Most are called "spoiled," supposedly unreadable, damaged, invalid. They just don’t get counted. This “spoilage” has occurred for decades, but it reached unprecedented heights in the last two presidential elections. In the 2004 election, for example, more than three million ballots were never counted...
The more people that vote, and pay attention, the less chance the slimy bastards have of stealing it, right?
Right. I'm not being facetious. I'm serious as a heart attack here. I'm also aware of what those of us who believe in democracy are up against.
You haven't read Greg Palast? He's from LA, but he has to work in England to be able to tell us the truth.
