i thought this would happen after the 2000 election. Al Gore said he was denied the presidency through voter fraud. George Bush's supporters almost saw their victory snatched away through voter fraud. I thought that both parties would get together and say "Let's clean up this system."

But no one made a move.

I think the system is quite broken, and I think both parties are happy keeping it that way. It's probably like auditing the Fed. If we really knew what the situation was, the entire government would fall.

Politicians don’t want the mess cleaned up. The only problem they have is figuring out how to use the mess to their best advantage. If they truly wanted things to change, they would change it.

In my little bailiwick of Minnesota, at least, Republicans have long been pushing for voter ID, but until Nov. 2's election, they've always been stymied by legislative DFLers. I wonder why.
