With new legislation, Ohio Republicans plan holiday burial for American Democracy
By Bob Fitrakis
& Harvey Wasserman
A law that will make democracy all but moot in Ohio is
about to pass the state legislature and to be signed by its Republican
governor. Despite massive corruption scandals besieging the Ohio GOP, any hope
that the Democratic Party could win this most crucial swing state in future
presidential elections, or carry its pivotal US Senate seat in 2006, is about
to end.

Scrap the "secret" ballot and return to open voting
By Lynn Landes
The problem is
worldwide. From the Ukraine to the United States, many voters no longer believe
that their votes are counted correctly. And that's regardless of whether paper
ballots or voting machines are used. The problem is the "secret"
ballot.

Why can't the left face the stolen election of 2004 & 2008 vote rigging?
By Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman
If
some of its key publications are any indicator, much of the American left seems
unable to face the reality that the election of 2004 was stolen. So in all
likelihood, unless something radical is done, 2008 will be too.

Did the GOP steal another Ohio Election?
By Bob
Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman
The Republican Party has�barely�snatched another

vote theft that put George W. Bush in the White House in 2000 and then kept him
there in 2004.

Democrats, paper 'trails' aren't good enough; count the damn ballots!
By Lynn Landes
After the 2004 election I thought I would barf if I
heard one more Democratic pundit or politician lament the lost election and
blame it on the party's "message." As grassroots activists
across the country reported thousands of election irregularities and voting
machine "glitches" that overwhelmingly benefited Bush, the Democratic
leadership seemed unusually willing to look the other way. John Kerry
quickly conceded, former President Carter attended Bush's ignoble
inauguration, and Bill Clinton now pals around with Bush the First.

Did networks fake exit polls, while AP 'accessed' 2,995 mainframe computers?
By Lynn Landes
Why have exit polls historically matched
election results? How about this? It's all made up. It's a scam. A con. A fake.
A fraud. Since they first started "projecting" election
night winners in 1964, the major news networks have never
provided any 'hard' evidence that they actually conducted any exit polls, at
all. Researchers and activists who point to the disparity of the early exit
polls and the 2004 election results, have failed to consider the obvious
-- that exit polls never existed to begin with.

Voting rights groups 'block' talk of machine-free elections
By Lynn Landes
So much for a free and fair exchange of ideas.
At conferences and hearings across the country, traditional voting rights
organizations have successfully blocked any serious debate on
machine-free, paper-only elections. It appears that our well-entrenched
so-called 'voting rights' organizations, including the NAACP and ACLU, haven't absorbed
the lesson from America's election debacles. They would
rather invite the industry-funded National Association of State
Election Directors (NASED) to speak at their conferences, than invite
researchers and activists who will argue that the machines must go.
