A shortage of at least 500,000 poll workers nationwide means many voters 
could face long lines, cranky volunteers, polling places that don't open or 
close on schedule and the chance that results won't be known until long 
after the polls are closed.

========


We should bring all the poll watchers back from The Middle East to help our 
fledgling country attempt to embrace Democratic traditions.

Even if we brought the 140,000 troops back from Iraq for 1 day to help 
watch the polls, we'd still be 360,000 people short.

Adding in, unfortunately, the already-in-place dirty-tricks Republican poll 
vultures, and the milk has turned sour.

Oh well, *that* list of "How The American 2004 Presidential Election Was An 
Over-Obvious Scam That Had Nothing To Do With Justice" seems to be endless.

If you have a car, go drive someone to vote on election day if you can.

Guarding True Democracy.

Sorry, folks, we can do it anywhere else in the world, but we just don't 
have enough people to do it here in our own country.

Amazing.



"Next".

"Hey, wait a second, I was here first, I want some JUSTICE, this is AMERICA 
not Afghanistan...!!"

"No, I'm sorry, your time is up, please let the person standing behind you 
step up to the window.  Thank you and have a nice day.".
