    The exit polls were not wrong. Kerry was the clear winner, but victory was snatched from him.
    Florida first. The (…)

    Expensive cars festooned in orange; orange-clad demonstrators queuing at McDonalds; ladies dressed in fur coats with orange ribbons - these are all signs that Ukraine’s "orange revolution" has enormous support from its newly emerging middle class.
    The majority of protesters rallying in Kiev’s Independence Square hold mobile phones. They keep their families and friends up-to-date with events in the capital and exchange text messages with an opposition logo.

    Indeed corporate driven wars of Capitalist nations and elections share the trait of ‘deception’. This is expected as elections are the usual means to get into the driving seat to prosecute wars.

    Meacher writes:-Now allegations are surfacing that the use of electronic voting systems and optical scanning devices may have had a significant influence on the result. Computer security experts insist that such sys- tems are not secure and not tamper-proof, yet they were used to count a third of the votes across 37 states. Though the Democrats remain strangely coy about the whole subject, academics and political analysts are now drawing comparisons between areas that used paper ballots and (…)
