The screaming issue "down heah" in ole Miss has ceased to be white/black, Repub/Dem.

The problem of the day is the two parties are messing with local election results, each in their own way. We already had too many elections (at least one cycle a year), too many precincts, not enough pollwatchers, not enough challenges to suspicious results.

Now we have all these machines that are programmed by strange technicians flying in from who knows where, who may very possibly be on a Republican payroll to adjust the results.

Meanwhile, we also still have many many phantom voters from the graveyards. Something called "Voter ID" is desperately needed, but some Democratic 'leaders' insist asking a person to show ID is the same as a poll tax and would intimidate all the elderly black people. So instead you can go in there and claim you are whoever you want and they will let you vote, roaming from precinct to precinct with your cemetery list.

I have personally witnessed one full-scale election theft which was prosecuted. I have also had my name mysteriously removed from the roll and had to file an 'affidavit ballot' which I have no idea whether it was counted. And I have voted for a 3rd party candidate and had my precinct total for that candidate come up 'zero'.    The system ain't working, and this is in a not-in-play state. Heaven knows what goes on in Ohio and Florida where the stakes are really high.

I'd like to throw the whole goofy 2-party primary-runoff-main event junk out the window and start over with town meetings or something.
