"WASHINGTON - The government needs to establish guidelines for canceling or
rescheduling elections if terrorists strike the United States again, says the chairman of a new federal voting commission. Such guidelines do not currently exist, said DeForest B. Soaries, head of the voting panel." http://www.freep.com/news/latestnews...9_20040625.htm Cancelling an election. That is pretty much what the Bushies want. Why on earth should the Bushies think they can win a fair election in 2004 when a weak Democratic candidate, who ran a poor campaign, still garnered 300,000 more votes in 2000? They don't think that. That is why they want electronic, no paper-trail voting. That is why they want the power to "cancel" elections. This is serious. It's especially serious when you think that the Supreme Court has in the past, and will surely in the future, toss law and precedent in the toilet to aid the Bushies in stealing the election. President Lincoln said: "On this point the present rebellion brought our republic to a severe test; and a presidential election occurring in regular course during the rebellion added not a little to the strain. If the loyal people, united, were put to the utmost of their strength by the rebellion, must they not fail when divided, and partially paralized (sic), by a political war among themselves? But the election was a necessity. We can not have free government without elections; and if the rebellion could force us to forego, or postpone a national election it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us." http://www.nps.gov/liho/writer/1864.htm But the Bushies want the power to cancel the election. They will do -anything- to stay in power. We have to stop them. Walt |
