Well, until this morning I was of the opinion that it couldn't be rigged. Well, there is another belief turned into myth. Ways to rig an election: (My personal fav.) Safety Check Road blocks infront of polling places in minority areas; Design a voting punch card that is confusing, but use it in only one county, with majority of Dem. voters; Absentee ballots that have to be witnessed and mailed one week before the election--this is a variation of the theory that all is lost that you can't control. Lay down heavy fire and see who's left (it will probably favor anal republicans rather than impulsive Democrats). Instruct the bubba that is sitting in the polling area to not laugh when the voter tells him that they were confused about the punch out for Gore on the ticket. Naw, couldn't be fixed. Dream on. This makes Whitewater look like kindergarten. Lew
