Surely most of you (Hopeful and Ashley) are turning in religiously to Fox News who are clearly RNC supporters, but I'm sure that doesn't keep you from changing the channel. Truth is truth, the "real" VA is attempting to make voters feel distraught and turn away. Clearly. Not about who's reporting the news.

To say that it's the greatest and most democratic country in the world and have a system that is heard of only in third world countries is apalling. With all the wealth in technology and resourses it is difficult to imagine that there are so many discrepancies with Machines and ballots. All the wealth of experience in conducting Elections over so many years it's hard to imagine that today it cannot be conducted without so many flaws and voter fraud. Is there going to be controversy each time elections are held? And to think that representatives are sent to other countries to conduct and examine their elections.

And, yeah, if the polling places are arranged so that there are significantly fewer in black neighborhoods than in white, I'd say that was adequate reason for question. I'm white, and if McCain wins this one, I'll be right in their hollering about MY civil rights being violated.

HERE IS A SUGGESTION TO YOUR STATE'S LOOMING 2008 GENERAL ELECTION DEBACLE. In rich counties like Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax where the district precincts seems to always have enough working voting machines and the voters get in and out with ease; try letting voters from poorer districts with fewer working machines have access to those machines to cast their votes. This is done a couple ways. Either generate a supplemental voting access list where voters from crowded districts can gain access to voting machines in other districts; or just move some of the voting machines from Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax county districts to districts in other counties where the lines are traditionally longer. P.S. . . I’m not taking any consultant fees for this service. Consider this 'pro bono' for a pretty decent governor. DEAR VIRGINIA GOVERNOR TIM KAINE.
