8. I hope something is done for one simple reason:
the General Election.

The problems the states had during the primaries will likely show up again in the GE if they aren't investigated and, more importantly, RESOLVED!

This isn't just about Clinton and Obama ... this is about US. We hear these stories after every election: confusing ballots, not enough ballots, not enough machines, not enough poll workers, uninformed poll workers, machines that don't work, machines that switch a vote from one candidate to another, confusion about polling place locations, confusion about polling place hours, long-time voters not being on the voting rolls, votes being challenged at the polling place ... the list goes on and on.

Enough of this shit! We've been having elections in this country for over 200 years ... why is it so fucking difficult to get it right?! :grr:

Sorry for the rant ... but I am so tired of hearing stories like this after every election and I'm fed up with the idea that a recount can't be done unless a CANDIDATE requests it. What about the 700,000 people whose votes weren't counted? Why don't they have a say in this? :shrug:
