Vote Recount to Settle Doubts? Story Here Archive | ||||||

Recount New Hampshire Story Here Archive | ||||||
This is truly the year of the amateur. It was mostly the unfamous and unsung who organized the voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives, started and ran the grassroots (if well-funded) 527 committees like MoveOn.org, wrote the blogs and conceived the websites that did what the traditional media seldom didsuch as probing deeply into Bush's personal history, including his military service. And it is ordinary people who are now leading the way in scrutinizing newfangled, secretive voting systems, seeking to insure that a handful of corporations don't, accidentally or deliberately, undermine electoral democracy. | ||||||

This time four years ago, the country was consumed with lawsuits necessary to decide who won the presidential election. Thankfully, democracy has largely been spared such hassles this year.

Editorial: Voting/Flaws need federal attention Story Here Archive | ||||||
Despite the cries about a "stolen election" making the rounds on the Internet, most experts agree that the published vote totals for presidential candidates on Nov. 2 accurately reflect the votes cast. President Bush won, Sen. John Kerry lost, and that isn't going to change. But this was still a very flawed presidential election, which is a big reason why so many people are ready to believe in conspiracies. Over the next four years, those flaws must be fixed. No rational person should ever have reason to doubt the legitimacy of an American national election. | ||||||

Why did election officials in yet another part of Ohio lock down the building where votes were being counted, turning away the press and public? | ||||||
