The Dems are going to wait until 2010 (if ever) and stand by and watch more of this bullshit go down....the republicans have to steal elections in order to gain & keep seats in elections, always have to continue their elitist corporate power & fascist ideology...
Congress must get rid of the republican written "Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002. Congressional & Senate seats have absolutely been stolen, as well as local seats, just because Obama won the presidency doesn't mean republicans didn't steal other seats, they have. They certainly would have even less seats than they have now!
WASHINGTON — Four million to five million voters did not cast a ballot in the 2008 presidential election because they encountered registration problems or failed to receive absentee ballots, which is roughly the same number of voters who encountered such problems in the 2000 election, according to an academic study to be presented to the Senate Rules Committee on Wednesday.

The former category would include, along with those sidelined by the voter ID laws in
Indiana and Georgia, all those who were registered, but showed up at the polls only to
find that they'd been stricken from the rolls. And such disenfranchisement was either
"legal," as BushCo's DoJ had been conducting quiet voter purges nationwide, or illegal,
as partisan free-lancers cleansed the voter rolls of those who would have cast a ballot for
the Evil Ones. (Those voter rolls now being electronic, such deletion is a snap for anyone
with access to them.)
Now, the number of those disenfranchised certainly was even higher than MIT's report
suggests, since it refers exclusively to registration hurdles and missing absentee ballots.
There were also many voters who could not wait on the endless lines that formed in
Democratic precincts only, there having been too few machines placed there, and/or
machines that didn't work. (The same thing happened in 2004 and 2006.)
And then there were those citizens whose votes were not suppressed, but electronically
erased or altered: a type of disenfranchisement not noted by the researchers at MIT, who
looked exclusively at vote suppression, not election fraud. But, just as in 2004 and 2006,
so in 2008 there were numerous firsthand reports of voters seeing their votes "flipped"
right before their eyes--a problem that afflicted many Democrats and just a handful
of Republicans. And those reports point only to a fraction of the ballots altered
electronically, since it's quite easy to flip votes without its being perceptible.
It's therefore very likely that the number of those disenfranchised in this last election,
by whatever means, was actually far higher than the 4/5 million here reported.We may
conservatively estimate that it was more like 7 to 8 million US citizens who couldn't vote;
and we may add with confidence that most of those blocked voters would have voted
for Obama, and also would have voted Democratic in their local House and Senate races.
What this means is that (a) this president won by a landslide, not merely a "decisive"
margin, and that (b) the GOP is, more than ever, a fringe party--and (c) a party that
relies on every dirty trick and tactic in the book to "win" in our elections, so as to push
their program on the rest of us despite the will of the electorate. And what this means is
that (e) our degraded voting system now needs radical reform, or else that undead party
will keep "coming back" until they've ruined everything.

Now, even the CIA admits election discrepancies, we know by the slimy republicans. What will it take for the Democratss in congress to do something,, do they believe it or even care?
