protests. What makes you think they will report demands for ballot reform?
It's the old paradox of a tree falling in the forest with no one to hear it.
It is my understanding the Speaker of the House would not allow any blackbox ballot reform onto the floor of the House of Representatives during the last session. I doubt if he will act any differently this session now that his power has be enhanced by yet another corrupt election.
We have a one-party government which gained power by way of a coup in 2000 and has maintained its power with rigged elections ever since. The ballot box is no long an effective engine for change.
The old republic is dead. And I fear we have another Bush in our future-- Jeb.
