If you've been a regular reader of Left is Right, then you know I've been "screaming" about the probability of Kerry losing the vote count due to the inherent characteristics of electronic voting. It's good to see Daily Kos picking up the ball:
| The Blogosphere is a failure. That's the only conclusion I can reach. Or either people (myself included) are too stupid to deserve a democracy. Month after month after month computer programmers have been publishing reports, the Times, The New Republic, Bill Moyers and others been doing stories. And yet almost noone seems willing to demonstrate any outrage or sense of urgency about these goddamn computerized voting machines. It's like we're all asleep. This is all we should be talking about. Almost. But instead it's post after post about everything else.
Democracy is the antidote to violent revolution. What's gonna happen when we have 2000 redux? People are gonna take to the streets. We can't let that happen. I'm begging you people. Get behind this issue. Now. They're stealing our democracy and we're over here talking about whether Kerry seemed presidential. This is Priority #1 |
