This poster makes some valid points. The democrat leftist operatives such as MoveOn.org have provided plenty of interviews whereby it is obvious to the most casual observer that they scoff at rules, procedures and law.

What this poster is perhaps referring to is the threat that these leftist operators could insert poison pills into elections by fabricating false ballots in republican strongholds and then claiming a proportional analysis will change the result. I am not the 1st to raise this as a red flag.

Think back to the 2000 primary which had alot of union democrats ordered to the republican primary to vote in the weaker nominee (McCain versus Bush). The aftermath had alot of states rewriting their primary election statutes to allow only party registered persons to vote in their party primaries. That battle still rages on in Washington State.

What is needed is a national campaign for vote reform to shore up safeguards for validating elections. This could include database crosschecks, voter id, voter reregistering and so on.

Hopefully Washington State will lead as a pathfinder to clean up a national systemic problem.
