And you are so right:

Geez, the more you know about voting, the more f-cked we are.

The Canadians count everything on paper. Takes an evening. That’s what we should do. So the corporations can’t sell us machines. And? (Sounds like another case for undevelopment, to me.)

UPDATE Title not ironic, in case that wasn’t crystal clear.

Here was the >previous referred Jeralyn article on the missing votes.

And I agree that it might be worthwhile for GOP to have the (D) candidates all accusing each other of vote fraud as a perfect setup for November elections. It’s the ol’ Rovian ploy of laying the “stolen election” groundwork to both blame democrats, make the voting system look unreliable, and make exit polls untrustworthy. All while making it very hard to accuse anyone of cheating when all other allegation eventually end up with “explanations”.

Never occurred to me to worry about the comments that went with the post. Thanks!

(Not that it’s not a problem. And I can envision all sorts of corrupt scenarios, no question, but this is one type of story that has to be nailed. We already know the Republicans steal elections. So, if we do anything that smacks of crying wolf, we automatically set up a he said/she said, “they’re all the same” narrative in the general, and could be very bad.
