"... 9000 votes reported in a precinct where 5000 voters voted. After all, the Democrats won, so it must be perfectly ok..."

I repeat: It is NOT ok to have either cheating OR flaws in the voting procedure. It was not 'OK' for JFKs daddy to buy votes in Chicago...if he did... That, just like the 2000 Florida fiasco, was never 'proven', though it turned out ok and we didn't have Nixon as president for the Cuban missle crisis.

   
And, as you know BB, I vote in MD too...and that suggestion that the votes are already 'rigged' for Obama is pretty heavy...you don't know any such thing and it's inflammatory to assert it unless YOU have access to privileged information.
