If they've stolen elections before...........

3. Or...why are any Democrats elected?

You'd think if the fix was in it'd happen quick with the rushpublicans taking control everywhere. Obama would have never stood a chance and it wouldn't be close. Stealing elections like the right wing's scream of election fraud usually provides lots of smoke and little fire. Suspicious activities that are just enough to fit whatever tin foil story one wants to make up as to why their candidate lost.

Can elections be more transparent? Of course. This is why you have trained poll judges at every step of the counting process and, even better, ensure that Democrats are elected as Secretary of State or to whatever office oversees elections. Bottom line is no matter what system is used someone is going to find fault...and it makes a convenient excuse for a lousy candidate or campaign.
