With all the "electioneering" I saw going on at my polling place in 2008, I'd not be surprised to learn that some people are being paid NOT to notice.
What should concern every American regardless of their politics is that they (call them Powers that Be) want the ability to make software patches and global changes that will affect large numbers of vote tallies. That ability is what needs eliminated for the sake of our democracy. They want to assure that the politicians elected and in place will work for them, not us.
