<<1. Imagine that we read of an election occurring anywhere in the third world in which the self-declared winner was the son of the former prime minister and that former prime minister was himself the former head of that nation's secret police (CIA).>> Imagine instead the sone of a former Senator was bankrolled into the office of President by thugs - communists - Please see record of A. Hammer & Al Gore's uncle. <<2. Imagine that the self-declared winner lost the popular vote but won based on some old colonial holdover (Electoral College) from the nation's pre-democracy past.>> Just think, that often quoted "popular vote" may have been just as crooked as have been the recounts in Flordia? Isn't it terrible when no adults came forward to chalange this under the law prior to the election? <<3. Imagine that the self-declared winner's 'victory' turned on disputed votes cast in a province governed by his brother!>> I know this may be tough for children to understand, but what if that brother recused himself? <<4. Imagine that the poorly drafted ballots of one district, a district heavily favoring the self-declared winner's opponent, led thousands of voters to vote for the wrong candidate.>> But imagine that so many others in other states understood these ballots,m in fact these ballots were designed by the opposing party, approved by the opposing party, & published in the news paper prior to the vote and were so simple that even children in elementry schools were able to make their wish understood? <<6. Imagine that hundreds of members of that most-despised caste were intercepted on their way to the polls by state police operating under the authority of the self-declared winner's brother.>> Imagine such a desperate lie as this were put out by the other side with no proof what so ever. <<7. Imagine that six million people voted in the disputed province and that the self-declared winner's 'lead' was only 327 votes. Fewer, certainly, than the vote counting machines' margin of error.>> Imagine this lead would have been more near 15000 were votes not stolen from the men & women in uniniform for that country. <<8. Imagine that the self-declared winner and his political party opposed a more careful by-hand inspection and re-counting of the ballots in the disputed province or in its most hotly disputed district.>> Isn't it a shame when audlts resort to lieing to each other & childeren fail to admit that the President was not "self declared" rather was established by a valid vote & was declared by the Secretary of State? <<10. Imagine that a major campaign promise of the self-declared winner was to appoint like-minded human rights violators to lifetime positions on the high court of that nation.>> Even more terrible when the other party swore he would act outside the law of the land to destroy another basic human right.
