Putting Things in Perspective: 1968 and Now I think that an a useful comparison for leftists today to use when talking to people about Bush is the election of Richard Nixon in 1968. The election that year took place in a context of growing social polarization and anger around the Vietnam War. In the spring of 1968, the Tet Offensive in Vietnam had demonstrated the incredible unpopularity and weakness of the U.S. occupation in that country....

Counted votes fall 35% in Berkeley. Student precinct problems As of Thursday morning, out of 81,611 registered voters in Berkeley, 42,661 votes have been recorded, Ginnold said, a turnout, so far, of just over 50 percent. Depending on how many provisional ballots are accepted and how many absentee ballots came in on election day, the percentage of voter turnout should rise, she said. In 2000, the year of the last presidential election, 54,684 out of 72,299 registered voters cast a ballot, or about 75 percent.

Hartmann on the Fraud - 'The Ultimate Felony Against Democracy' It's time that the USA - like most of the rest of the world - returns to paper ballots, counted by hand by civil servants (our employees) under the watchful eye of the party faithful. Even if it takes two weeks to count the vote, and we have to just go, until then, with the exit polls of the news agencies.

Computer Glitch Gives Bush 3,893 Extra Votes Here we see the evolution of the spin from the stolen election. On Wednesday the news was full of puff pieces about how wonderful the electronic voting machines worked. Then, as more and more hard facts emerged the spin changed to how only sore losers dared suggest there were problems with the electronic voting systems. Now, as even more problems surface, the spin changes again to drudgingly admitting that there were indeed problems, but really, they were minor, and no one error would really ...

A View from the Midwest: If Kerry had followed Chicago rules, he’d have won There is one mantra among all others that has driven electoral work in Chicago, by both Machine hacks and the occasional independent campaign seeking to unseat the machine: protect the vote.
