Since The Electoral Process Is The Very Foundation Democracy
It is imperative that this process in the ' Cradle Of Democracy " be allowed to see its way though this current situation.Anything less, and the Euros,the Japanese,the Ruskies or the Red Chinese for that matter,will have backing to an argument that Democracy, in it's current form, is not the be all and end all to a just society.
Each and every time something like this happens, Democracy is put on the stand in front of the world at large,and if some people think this doesn't matter, they had better give their heads a shake.
The idea that the party or the candidate with the most monetary influence itself calls the process into question in the eyes of less fortunate nations.Add to this the speculation of wrong doing in electoral procedures , and it is a recipe for the fall of a political system, such as what happened in the USSR.You cannot influence other nations or political processes towards your way of thinking, when the process itself may be called into question.
These thoughts are going through the minds of influential and powerful people and institutions globally as we await the outcome of this election.Both potential presidents fully understand the import of this, and damage control is obviously necessary to quell any concerns that democracy itself has been compromised.
Do not take these events lightly, as history has shown even most recently in little Peru, that events that cause anxiety and confusion can escalate into something much more serious if left to fester.
It is in America's best interest to resolve the election outcome quickly and accurately before any further damage is done or forces are unleashed that turns back the clock on democracy.Also :
I would strongly suggest that the TV Networks get a grip on the influence they carry in today’s information age.I would strongly suggest that during the NEXT election, there be a :
C—O—M—P—L—E—T—E ========= B—L—A—C—K—O—U—T!!
of any reporting of results till ALL polls are closed -- from coast to coast.
I would also strongly suggest that the Networks re-calibrate their numerical models that attempt to predict the outcomes of elections, in what appears to be a race to MAKE NEWS , not REPORT NEWS!!
And that’s ---- THE REST OF THE STORY! |
