No Clever Title, Just the Truth: Democrats Must Focus on Voter Fraud

This article's a few days old, but read it and shed a tear:

So we can call Ohio and New Mexico for John Kerry—if we count all the votes.

But that won't happen. Despite the Democratic Party's pledge, the leadership this time gave in to racial disenfranchisement once again. Why? No doubt, the Democrats know darn well that counting all the spoiled and provisional ballots will require the cooperation of Ohio's Secretary of State, Blackwell. He will ultimately decide which spoiled and provisional ballots get tallied. Blackwell, hankering to step into Kate Harris' political pumps, is unlikely to permit anything close to a full count. Also, Democratic leadership knows darn well the media would punish the party for demanding a full count.

As I said last Wednesday, even if Kerry had won Ohio and New Mexico, he would have lost the popular vote. Bush lost the popular vote in 2000. That would not have boded well for a President Kerry.

But I'm not done. This is popping up a lot:

Scattered other problems may change results in races around the state. Local officials said UniLect, the maker of the county's electronic voting system, told them that each storage unit could handle 10,500 votes, but the limit was actually 3,005 votes.

There is a serious problem with the voting system in this country, and the people benefiting from those problems are the ones who would have to fix it.

If Democrats want an issue that they can use to make Republicans look bad, it's voter fraud. With such a high turnout last week, voting as an issue may resonate with—guess who—voters. A high profile Dem needs to hook up with a high profile GOP and launch a congressional investigation. And then Dems need to start pushing hard for voting reform.

Sure, Sean Hannity and other musky ballsacks will accuse the Dems of being sore losers, but ultimately, everyone wants their vote counted, and if anyone doesn't want to support voting reform, then that person doesn't support voting. That's right, Democrats, it's time to start fighting fire with fire. It's time to stand up to the opposition and say, "If you don't want to reform our electoral system to make it fairer for everyone, Senator Cockgobbler, then you don't support Democracy, "

Please, Democrats, the iron is hot. This is the issue for the next four years, not stem cell research. If George Bush wants to bring Democracy to the Middle East, he'd better support bringing it home, too. Get to work.

I'm writing a letter to my Senator and Senator-Elect and Representative to tell them that it's time voter fraud became a serious, high-profile issue for the Democratic party. Will you join me?
