1. It must
I feel like I just witnessed my worse BBV nightmare manifest in realtiy over the last 36 hours, with the additional feature of thuggish disenfranchisement.

I've honestly felt as though we haven't had a democracy here since the industrial revolution though I'm not quite that old. But never have we been so falsely represented than we have been by these nefarious machines.

Election reform is a # 1 priority. Even Brokaw said it repeatedly last night.

It's our only hope.

6. Exit Polls?
Two of the Slashdot replies reference the "fact" that the election results agree with the exit polls. I believe it was SoCalDemocrat who posted the thread about CNN changing poll results; he needs to post something over there.
