It's about the November 2 election. And Bush.

Today's Political Q & A: The Electoral College

Q: So, I understand that despite all of our work raising up democracies in the Third World, the United States isn't actually one itself. We're a Republic and so rather than electing a President, we elect an electoral college who elects a President.

 Based on the last couple of weeks of polls, it looks like George Bush is going to lose the popular vote, but I understand that he could still win the electoral vote, and thus the Presidency. I'm confused, though, what happens if George Bush loses both the popular vote and the electoral vote?

A: Based on past experience, George Bush is elected President.

With Bush's numbers anemic since the debates, the Republican party seems to have figured out that the only way to win this election is to keep people from voting.

Here's a story about how the GOP tried to remove 35,000 people from the voter rolls in Ohio:
Ohio Voter Fraud

(The basis of this challenge was apparently people who refused to accept registered mail from the Republican party.)

Here's how they tried to do the same thing in Wisconsin and Nevada:
Wisconsin & Nevada Voter Fraud

Here's a story about letters being sent to newly registered Democratic voters in Ohio, telling them that they're not registered to vote:
More Ohio Voter Fraud

Here's a picture of a flier being posted in Wisconsin that tries to scare black voters away by saying they'll be throw in jail and have their kids taken away:
More Wisconsin Voter Fraud

At least in Nevada, the GOP tried for a bit more deniability. They hired a voter registration firm and had them throw away registration forms for Democrats:
More Nevada Voter Fraud

Here's a story on how thousands of absentee ballots went mysteriously missing in the Democrat-heavy Broward County in Florida:
Florida Voter Fraud

And the list just goes on and on throughout the swing states ...
