What it will take to change elections....
Advertisements [?]
After reading article upon article, post upon post, about election reform and how desperately it's needed, I have come to the following conclusion, FWIW:

Either in the 2006 or, more likely, in the 2008 elections, a medium- to large-scale hack of the vote will have to occur. A group will have to take over the vote so that it can no longer be denied that the system is totally worthless and has to be rebuilt from the ground up. IMO, the group would be serving their patriotic duty to the country, though they'll be prosecuted and jailed for the acts.

Otherwise, the only changes made while the neocons are in control will be made for their advantage. They may act like they are making changes to "better" the system, but they'll always leave a backdoor somewhere of which they can take advantage.
