"It's not who votes that counts . . . it's who counts the votes!" . . .

[OneBlueSky]

why is this seemingly so hard for people to grasp? . . . with all the discussion about this voting system or that, we continually seem to ignore the fact that, whatever system is used, Republican corporation are STILL going to be tabulating the votes! . . . and as long as that's the case, we are fucqued (pardon my French) . . .

the whole election system has to be overhauled, and control removed from private corporations and returned to the people (that's us!) . . . until that happens, you can vote on touchscreens, optiscans, paper ballots, or by writing your choices on Scott Tissue (new or used) . . . as long as Republican corporations are doing the tabulating, THEY control the outcome of each and every race . . .

1. Stalin-style elections as usual

Time to unionize and go on strike, methinks.

2. Have you been watching the unions?

3. yes, they've been sucking too (neutered ever since 1947 anyway)

We're at a loss for ideas, to be honest. The representative government is a complete sham, so unionization was the only other obvious way I could think of for collective bargaining with the government. Except the existing unions are crap and it's not clear that the problems aren't inherent.

Have you got any ideas?

4. Yeah!!!! - Just ask Congressman Peter King of New York.

In a tipsy moment, this lockstep neocon spilled the beans on Republican-control of elections.
