Ask an African or Native-American

Again the perception is We are ok and you are not? Our system of Democracy, a big part of which is our voting process, is a big reason many are dying everyday in Iraq, as we shove these systems down their throats. Like fish oil as a cure all, we tell them, this nasty tasting system will be good for you. You just have get it down, as we have.

Here is a good opportunity for us, as Americans to look in a mirror to see how well we have got Democracy and voting down. The same systems men and women die daily to establish in other countries, Iraq for example. Do we really want other countries to have this system...ask an Africa or Native-American?

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against a Republican lawsuit challenging the status of some 200,000 newly registered voters whose details do not match other government records. The so-called "mismatch" problem has plagued other states, including Florida and Wisconsin.

Employing GOP operatives accused of voter registration fraud?

FAKE REGISTRATIONS? The problem is our temp workers who are trying to defraud ACORN by pretending to do work that they have not done, according to an ACORN spokesman.

"Every study" that has looked at whether there is widespread voter fraud has concluded there is not, IAW, a representative of the Brennan Center for Justice. Simply an urban myth used every two years to justify policies that would kick eligible voters off the rolls. He must be a democrat.

We keep looking for problems in machines and systems, the problem in with the operators, the people we elect or hire to operate these machines and systems--ethical and legal wrongdoings.

Ask an African or Native-American, I do not mean that as a racial thing, but those are American people who has historically been denied to share the same system of democracy. I think those are some of the different cultures Michele Bachmann is referring to.
