YES! Everyone in the country should be demanding proof that this was a free and fair election. I have been writing to my elected reps, talking to as many people as I can. I have been discouraged by comments that "it won’t change the result". How do we know? And it that the main point?
This does not have to be a partisan issue. It goes beyond whether the results change. Thousands and thousands of people were disenfranchised. There are actual people who make the decisions that cause these problems and they have to be exposed and punished.
I think that even many republicans, if they see enough evidence of foul play, will see that this is basic to the continuance of any semblance of democracy in this country.
The patterns of systematic minority exclusion is wiping out the civil rights gains of the 60s. We need to get used to fighting over every inch to safeguard our civil liberties against the Bush gang. If theses shady practices that don’t get exposed today, they become common practice tomorrow.
