US Election

[dalekboy]

These days I'm lucky if I get to skim LJ, and so may have missed other people who have the same concern I do. I think many of my friends want Obama to win, for all sorts of good reasons. Things are looking good, with many big Republicans even publically supporting him.

But while everyone seems to be hoping for an Obama victory, I have yet to hear anyone express the niggling fear I've had since day one - the bastards stole one election and got clean away with it, who is to say they won't do it again?

That said, the supervisor of elections in one area was turned away this election for a spurious reason, so...?

Scary that they need teams of people to help make it a fair election, scarier that this hasn't worked already in at least one case.

At least one person that got turned away went to the board of elections or similar and got a court order to allow him to vote (google for Tim Robbins)

But yes, it looks as if there is still some shenanigans, of course it could be incompetence and bureaucracy
