somethings been fishy for years

I have said for years that the only reason for the Republican party to not have been aggressively investigating the nearly umbiguous reports of urban vote fraud was that they had their own vote fixing scheme and didn't think it would stand up to the light of a public investigation.

Hopefully this Diebold fiasco will blow up into a general investigation of vote fraud which is completely out of control in this country.

We have people in the inner-city voting multiple times, we have non-citizens voting, we have secret ballots counted by high tech but completely unreliable machines, we have debates over whether voters are "capable" of properly using the old voting machines that have been used for tens of years, we have literally scores if not hundreds of different vote tabulating and counting mechanisms, we have motor voter making sure that welfare recipients and foreigners get to vote while technicalities prevent American servicemen's votes from counting.

It is time for a voting system overhaul and perhaps, dare I say, the abandonment of secret ballots.
