    by Jesse Jackson
    In the Ukraine, citizens are in the streets protesting what they charge is a fixed election. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell expresses this nation’s concern about apparent voting irregularities. The media give the dispute around-the-clock coverage. But in the United States, massive and systemic voter irregularities go unreported and unnoticed.
    Ohio is this election year’s Florida. The vote in Ohio decided the presidential race, but it was marred by intolerable, and (…)

    2 + 2 = Five
    By Lloyd Hart
    There will never be another free and fair election in America ever again if George Bush is inaugurated as the President of the United States on January 20th. 2005 or at least until there is a civil war restablishing an open democracy. The 20 year long process of entrenching "Electronic Jim-Crow" will soon be complete. Now that the unverifiable paperless electronic voting systems have spread throughout most of the South they will now be entrenched in every (…)

    – 1. We need to add a push for mandated hand-counted paper ballots with multiple witnesses at every stage of the counting within the state, and public reporting of the final state-level numbers by the group of witnesses who are present at the state-level tabulation, in a joint statement, out in the open in a public place. This is the one way we can be reasonably sure there has been no manipulation of numbers. What we have now is an act of faith alone. 2. Candidates should all face an equal, (…)

    This Saturday there will be a huge rally to Demain a Recount and investigation into the Ohio voting problems. This is not about bush vs kerry, this is about American citizens being given equal access to vote. If we don’t demand Blackwell remove himself from the process and allow a full recount to proceed, then American democracy will be officially dead. You were given a democracy- are you going to let them just take it like this? Do you really think we’ll have a better shot in 2008? Wake up (…)

    They don’t have neocons in Britain: over there, they’re called Blairites, or New Labourites. But it’s essentially the same thing: they love the State, they love themselves, and, most of all, they love war - in the name of idealism, you understand, which, in Blairite circles, amounts to what passes these days for "humanitarian" internvetionism. In any case, I suppose it was inevitable that the British wing of the species would one day deign to notice Antiwar.com’s (…)

    George Bush’s victory in the US presidential election will be challenged in Ohio’s supreme court today, when a group of Democratic voters will allege widespread fraud.
    President Bush clinched re-election by winning the state of Ohio on November 2 by a margin of 136,000 votes over the Democratic candidate, John Kerry. Despite claims of fraud and technical glitches, Senator Kerry decided that they were not big enough to affect the result and conceded the election on November 3.
    However, (…)
