Sentenced to Death

[bobquasit]

I'm seeing tons of "Saddam Hussein Sentenced To Death" and "Saddam Hussein Sentenced To Hang" headlines on the news.

What wouldn't I give to see the same headlines about Bush/Cheney and the rest of that gang of torturers...

I don't live in "real" America, so I just don't know.

But my fear is that it doesn't matter. My fear is that everything right now is being pushed to giving the Republicans just enough of a boost in the polls to make their theft of the election plausible.

Paranoia? I guess. But we don't know what's going on in the election machines, and every study done has shown that it's pitifully easy to steal elections with those machines...most of which are made and run by companies owned by heavy-duty Republican supporters.

I just don't know.

I find it extraordinary that the US doesn't have a independent electoral commission to stop such abuses. But then again, if the abuse supports those in power, why would they change things.

It's a bit technical, natch, but the following Ars Technica article explains in some detail how an election could be rigged.
