Two Days In A Row

Can you believe it? That's gotta be a record, right?

Brooke is out to a volunteer event tonight; I opted to stay home and read a book I'm supposed to submit a review of in a couple of weeks. The books is a history of voting technology in the US. It's interesting, but dense. And it's convinced me that we've never had a fair election in this country. The book starts with a detailed account of the goings on in Florida during the 2000 presidential election. After reading that chapter, I was aghast at the partisan trickery and sleight-of-hand. Of course, the 2000 election was an amazing success story in comparison to a majority of our national elections; not so much because there was less fraud but because two years later, Congress passed the first substantive national election legislation in over a hundred years.

Back to the book...and the outrage. :)
