Fraud Update

I don't like pasting content of other peoples articles, I don't want to get sued by the magazines - anyway - In the current Rolling Stone Magazine, in a neat new perfect bound format. Kennedy and Palast look at how the GOP try to suppress voters and how this works to their advantage. One thing in particular, that strikes, is that the number of votes that were suppressed in New Mexico in 2004 was THREE TIMES the majority that George Bush won!. And that is / was a safe Red state, meaning if they can do it in a place like NM then what hope Ohio or even Pennsylvania?

I am really getting cold feet about this election, it's not that, essentially Obama has done enough in a fair world to win. It's that the conditions for actually being able to vote go so against the sort of people that would vote for Obama. Being thrown off the role and suppressed, or given provisional ballots of which half are subsequently thrown away without reason. There is also the 'black' thing, where a small percentage , allegedly, can't bring themselves to vote for a black man even though they said they would. Ignore that, that's just junk to make excuses afterward as to why Obama, amazingly, didn't get the votes he thought he would.

Another good comment is that no matter how much you unravel the votes as fraudulent after the case, if McCain is 'elected' no will in the world will overturn that. If McCain 'wins' outright - amidst mass suppression, then how do you get that back? how do you go to all those states, find and open all those ballot boxes and re-count. You can't - there will be bitterness and a virtual civil war for a few weeks in America, but it won't stop McCain on the podium January 20th nor will it prevent Palin being president within 2 years of that.
