I think that you are afraid that if observers were allowed then the intimidation used against Blacks in Florida at the polling places would be widely reported, and then Bush would not be able to steal another election.

Because if the election were truly fair and free, then you would have absolutely nothing to fear.

You probably sleep well knowing the Diebold will deliver for you again.

Declare your right to vote with a paper ballot! I vote absentee for that very reason. Don't trust Diebold. Spread the word...vote absentee...on paper!

A Republican win in Nov. will result in a 4-year chorus of "rigged election," "they stole the election, just like in 2000," "yadda, yadda, yadda."

To imply that our electoral process is akin to some Central American Tin Pot dictatorship is an insult to thousands of local officials and volunteers.
