The Forgotten Stolen Elections
2006-11-11
Well, the Republicans lost, which means the Dems are in power. As usual before all elections, the liberal blogs were being responsibly proactive and whining about how those elections were about to be stolen by the incumbent party. After all, that's how they got there in the first place, right? Firm contermeasures must be taken mmediately! Proper mechanisms must be put in place to keep this from ever happening again! Here's how you can "steal back your vote", even if it means committing fraud! [Hey, it's OK to "steal back" that which is rightfully yours, right?]

Apparently, either they were not stolen or, far more likely [only if you're a Democrat], Rove's efforts were just not enough to do the trick.

In any case, I haven't heard a peep from the very same blogs (or the MSM for that matter) about a problem that theoretically should still exist. Aren't they worried about the next elections, or is it theoretically possible that it was all crap? They'd better get on it while they have a chance or for sure the Evil Pimply-Faced Republican Youth with No-Vote lists on their blackberries will do it again!

Any bets on exactly how much meaningful effort will be put towards curing this problem before the next elections? >:-)

I think this might be a good subject even for the MSM or, far more likely, other blogs. Maybe even shame the MSM into picking it up in a meaningful way.

Any thoughts?

#5  Let's not forget Milwaukee, which ordered more ballots than they could have any reason to expect needing in 2004.

#4  Actually, liberal blogs are discussing the need to prevent election fraud by the Rovebots and the political value of making election reform a major issue for their new majority quite a bit.

Some of the nuttier (it's a relative term) are theorizing that the fraudsters laid low this time so the forces of righteousness would let their guard down before the real effort to steal the '08 elections for the GOP.

#2  You'll have to forgive my ignorance, but how does St. Louis fit in?

#1  Let's ask St Louis for a complete and verifiable accounting - send in enough US Marshals, FBI, and National Guard to make sure the job's done right.

Then let's talk about vote fraud...
