we need a change in the entire system.

The American voter can control these hideous shenanigans by supporting 3rd party alternates instead of being slaves to the 2 major parties. Denying the vote cuts off the air to these pompous asses.

Doesn't make it right

My point is that the major political parties can't squawk in the courts if they screw up. . . .especially if not one single citizen raised a question before the vote despite being mailed a sample vote. (Do you see a certain irony in the ballot being drawn by a Dem and then the Dems screaming to do it over again? ) Does a football coach get to run a play over again if he makes a bad decision? I find it poetic justice if the pols shoot themselves in the foot . . . or preferably through the heart.

One would find tens of thousands of mismarked ballots all over the country in every election. The news media is just getting their Florida story . . . it isn't in context; but it may prove useful if the pols start going into every state and challenging the returns. Maybe the voter would be a little more alert afterwards. . . .

[Sorry about the politics, Jorj, but these damn pols are taxing me AND cratering my investments. A gal can only take so much . . . .]
