What people on both the left and the right fail to realize
that the Florida disaster was not caused by the Democrats or the
Republicans. The facts, and the events that all the arguments
bring out are what happens in Elections all across America.
We keep looking for perfection in an election when the major
component of any election, the people, are imperfect at best. I
would even go out on a limb here and say that a election that has
the ballots counted with a 90% accuracy rate is about the best
we can hope for.
One fact that has never been addressed by any one is, in the
counties in question, how many of the voters were so senile that
they probably shouldn't have been voting. We don't let children
vote because they are immature, but we let 90 year old senior
citizens who no longer have the ability to read or write vote.
A lot of these votes came from disadvantaged areas with high
unemployment, drug use, alcoholism etc. How may of the voters
show
up at the poles so blown away on drugs and alcohol that it is
impossible to know what they hell they were doing in the voting
booth.
With the number of votes cast and the margin of 1700 votes
with all the senility with senior citizens, drug and alcohol
abuse, coupled with the get out the vote drive by both parties
hell its a wonder that 5% under vote or spoiled ballots aren't
considered normal.
Does any one really think that the republicans are responsible
for spoiled ballots and under votes in heavy democratic
districts.
Could the reason be that there are other factors. Maybe the
democratic core constichuancy are prone to make more errors
than the republican core constituency.
What we have here is a result of the continuing poisoning of
the political process that has been going on since 1932 and the
New Deal which was the first battle of the class/cultural war.
What is sure is the election of 2004 will make 2000 look
like a day in the park. We will have court battles in 20 to
25 states over voting irregularities. In any event the election
of 2008 will be held with bullets and not ballots.
