8. Yes, it was waned in 2004
... and nobody paid attention to it. People were screaming about Ohio and nobody (in the upper levels of the Dem party) did anything about it until well after Kerry conceded. (Way too early IMO).

I fully expect to hear more of this stuff and I fully expect to see a large group of political ostriches, or and worse, ineptitude in the local districts.

Voting has been lame here in the U.S. for several generations. Nobody seems to know how to deal with a healthy, vibrant, voting public. 2004 was a hotly contested general election, and yet only 40% of the total eligable, registered, voters bothered to show up!!!

And now we see swelling voter rolls as citizens, *gasp!*, exercise their rights to vote?

Yeah, stuff is going to break, because of laziness, incompetence and political weakness. Franklin and Jefferson must be spinning in their graves like tops these days.
