Chip,

Thought you might find this interesting...?

A forwarded message came through earlier from a very good friend of mine...!

NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE ELECTION

A history professor from Upsalsa Universidad in Mexico, called to tell me about an article he had read in which a Russian politician was quoted as saying that children should study this event closely for it shows that election fraud can be used by the loser of the election to change the results:

1. Imagine that we read of an election occurring anywhere in the developing world (for that matter in parts of Europe) in which the loser was the son of the former member of parliament and that former MP was himself financed in his election by people supporting enemies of his own country and that he voted in opposition to equal rights for the most despised caste.

2. Imagine that the loser couldn't even win in his own district or his own province where the people know him best.

3. Imagine that the loser had accepted illegal campaign contributions and made illegal solicitations for contributions while a government leader and then saying that he didn't know because he was in the bathroom when it was discussed.

4. Imagine that the loser had tried to get supporters to change votes through a hand counting process.

5. Imagine that the loser had tried to get absentee votes from military personnel disqualified because they were for his opponent.

6. Imagine that the loser had one of his supporters caught with a voting machine in his car.

7. Imagine that the loser had supported and participated in the growing of an evil weed that had killed his sister.

8. Imagine that the loser had his supporters call the people who were committed to voting for his opponent and threatened them if they didn't change their vote.

9. Imagine that the loser was part of an administration that sold important military secrets to the communist Chinese.

10. Imagine that the loser supported a leader that was responsible for creating the worst morale ever in the military and was convicted of perjury and fined in a court case.

11. Imagine that the loser would not accept the results and went to court to try to overturn the election.

12. Imagine that the loser got votes recounted by hand only in areas where he was the leader and counted by officials that were his supporters.

13. Imagine that the loser solicited and received many votes from convicted felons.

14. Imagine that the court was controlled by members of the losers own party and that they allowed the loser to become the winner by admitting illegal votes.

None of us would deem such an election to be representative of anything other than the loser's obsession to win at any cost, even if it destroyed the country. All of us, I imagine, would wearily turn the page thinking that it was another sad tale of pitiful pre- or anti-democracy peoples in some strange elsewhere.
