I know a lot (if not most) of this has been covered here before, but I posted this to my own blog and felt like it summed things up pretty well. I decided to post here also and learn how to use the diary.
==================
If there is any one thing held sacred in a democracy, it is the process of democracy itself. Each voter has the right to vote, and each vote must be counted.
In the blogosphere there has been much talk of voter intimidation and disenfranchisement as well as mechanical errors and outright election fraud. I'm not going to get into individual cases for any of these. If you're interested, just poke around the political blogs and you'll find hundreds if not thousands of examples. These range in credibility from confirmed problems that have already been fixed through certain hoaxes designed to draw attention away from legitimate concerns.
