I Voted Early

Written on
I am a procrastinator by nature and ashamed of it. One of my resolutions year after year is to work on that. And to everyone’s surprise even my own I managed to vote early this year. Isn’t that sweet? My fiancé was getting on me about waiting so long to vote. We made a pack to vote together and every other day I had a reason as to why I couldn’t go vote that day. But Wednesday morning I jolted awake at 8:15am ready to vote. I was pumped, excited and patting myself on the back. I felt like such a wonderful citizen doing ... Read Full Story

Presidential Elections - Trick or Treat?

Written by bluewaves on
Trick or Treat? It’s hard to tell with this Presidential Election coming to a close in less than a week whether we wil have a trick or treat. Have we got all the facts to make a good decision? Will the Presidential candidates actually do what they propose when elected? Will there be a trick or treat? With new technology on the Internet providing instant replays of everything the candidates say and do, voters are probably more informed about this presidential election than they have ever been in the past. Social media sites like www.capzles.com have provided voters with an incredible means of viewing ... Read Full Story

November Fourth, Two-Thousand Asian

Written by disgrasian on
Dear DISGRASIAN readers, We know how much you're looking forward to tomorrow. Maybe it's because you can't wait to get your free ice cream cone at Ben and Jerry's , or your free cup of coffee at Starbucks , or your free doughnut at Krispy Kreme .

Early voting for Massachusetts?

Written by michaelannb on
Just got a call at home from a guy who said his mom suggested he call me. He's a truck driver who was just told by his boss that he's going to have to make an unexpected trip to New York tomorrow, leaving at 4 a.m. and not returning until after the polls close. "'How am I supposed to vote?'" he tells me he asked his boss. "He told me I could take the day off without pay if I wanted, but I've got four kids-- can't afford to do that." He went down to the Election Commission about 2 pm. to see if ... Read Full Story

Millions of dollars in electronic voting are machines being destroyed in the US

Written by thebigklosowski on
The $3 Billion spent on electronic voting machines after the 2000 Election debacle has gone wrong in so many ways . Vanishing votes, breakdowns, malfunctions and evidence that the e-voting machines are vulnerable to hackers has caused the problem. The result is warehouses full of unused e-voting equipment, and millions of dollars worth of equipment being sent to the junkyard for pennies on the dollar. Many states have lost confidence in the machines and have stopped using them, or they are facing lawsuits that make the machines useless. What to do with this high-tech junkyard is a multimillion-dollar question. One manufacturer offered $1 a ... Read Full Story

Diebold admits to broken voting machines

Written by thebigklosowski on
From the everybody knew but those in charge file, comes a tale of the blatantly obvious. There are major problems with e-voting machines made by Diebold . Diebold (now Premier Election Solutions) announced this week that their electronic voting systems lose votes . The maker of touch-screen voting machines used in half of Ohio's counties has admitted that its own programming error is to blame for votes being dropped in some counties. Premier, formerly Diebold Election Systems, initially speculated that the problem was a conflict between its system and anti-virus software. However, on Tuesday the Premier President admitted that further testing showed a source-code ... Read Full Story

Now the Real Work Begins: Following the Obama Wave of Change toward the Future

Written by marysoderstrom on
In early June 1988 I traded a poster with the picture of NDP leader Ed Broadbent for a Jesse Jackson for President one in the Los Angeles airport. The young woman with whom I traded was disappointed that Jackson had just lost the California primary, but we both were pleased that he had done as well as he did. The poster is one of my prized possessions, up there with my button from the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. What a wonder, then, to see Americans embrace and vote for Barack Obama yesterday, and watch Jesse Jackson watch Obama's impressive acceptance ... Read Full Story

Democracy Kills, By Humphrey Hawksley - Reviews, Books
Are democratic elections the answer in countries split along ethnic lines? What value does a vote have to someone with no access to clean water, education or a job? Could it be that competent economic management, along with the capacity to uphold law and order, serves some people's interests better than representative democracy, at least at certain stages of development? And if democracy is a precondition for development, how has communist-run...
