12. We have had 12 years since the selection of bush to fix this theft.

I can not fathom why this hasn't been one of our governments main goals. Of course when you privatize (anything) federal and state election process', theft is going to happen. Everything in America is for sell.
We should not have waited until another Presidential election to (again) make this national scandal a "breaking story."
This process is as big and directly tied to our "occupy" movement.
It may be too late for this election (I hope not) but we as citizens must take to the streets until we have verifiable, transparent voting in what is supposed to be a democracy.
IMO, this is the biggest threat to our (once?) democracy (including terrorists) that has ever happened. We must not just push this scandal aside after this election, no matter the outcome. Unless we demand and fight for a democracy, it will (is) be gone forever.
