Rock the vote

Well, Blogger has been very quirky and it went out all together last night so here's a post I didn't get up yesterday.

First I've heard of this suit. Freelance journalist Lynn Landes filed the first legal challenge to the widespread use of nontransparent voting systems. She couldn't find a civil rights organization to back her, so she's going it alone. It's about to be considered by SCOTUS. If they agree to hear it, it should be interesting.

Speaking of voting fraud. The first vote taken in the GOP's House Leadershop vote to replace indicted felon Tom DeLay, showed more votes than they were members present. That says about says it all about the integrity of our electoral system.

Finally, a Democrat who gets it. Potential 08 candidate Evan Bayh urges his fellow Dems to take a page out of the GOP playbook and rise to Karl Rove's challenge. National Security is an issue that they can win on if they only stop allowing Rove to set their agenda. I mean duh, if Rove says its a loser, don't you think it's really because they could hammer the GOP with it?

The Democrats need to wake up and realize that they're not going to win votes by allowing Karl Rove to dictate their strategy.
