From the Baltimoresun

<<<snip

To those of us who doubt President Bush won the election in the United States, the key differences between here and Ukraine are the methods of fraud and the passivity of the news media.

Here the party in power used unverifiable computerized voting to boost its totals and intimidation and misinformation to suppress the vote totals of its opponents, but the news media haven't investigated it.

>>>snip
Unless we act, the nation will get the same result as in 2000 -- no investigations, no indictments, no convictions and more fraud. We suspect that if the votes had been tallied honestly, we would be preparing for the inauguration of the candidate who authorities with a huge stake in the outcome tell us lost the election.

Welcome to DU, MelissaB! :hi:

I missed it. I don't get out of this forum much. :)
There is so much information here, and I spend many hours a day here reading.

Actually, it's not a total dupe post. The link I gave you was in late breaking news, not Election 2004.

But things get so lost here on DU, and information in one thread gets lost when the same stuff is posted in many forums. It's a Catch-22: multiple forums means it reaches more audiences but it also scatters the discussion. :shrug:

I'm not alone. I'm overwhelmed with information!

Also, thanks for the welcome. It feels so good to know there are kindred spirits everywhere.

:hi:

Good to have you with us! Where have you been?

Anyway, worry not about duplicate threading, more threads make the garment stronger, eh?

As we weave together a whole cloth of democratic solidarity, each and every individual becomes an ever more important stitch adding to the armor we need to keep the destroyers of democracy at bay.

Welcome, we've been missing you.
