Answer 3

They've fixed 2 presidential elections straight, though maybe it was actually a good thing (Al Gore or John Kerry would have been awful as president, probably worse than Bush).

We should demand that voting machines be deactivated and that they use paper ballots. Without a paper trail, it is impossible to deal with election fraud.

The only reason to use automatic voting machines is if we were voting every week instead of just once or twice a year.

The best way to ensure a fair election is to volunteer to run the voting precinct. If members of each party were present at all precincts, maybe we could cut the risk of election fraud.

They have used dirty tricks in the past, such as jamming party phone lines or telling voters that their polling place had been changed to somewhere across the state. Everybody needs to make sure to go to their regular precinct first before believing any claims. It is also important to make sure you don't get put on any fake felon lists.

Unless you are proactive enough to deal with election fraud (which is commonplace amongst both Republicans and Democrats, though probably nonexistent among minor parties), you are at risk of being denied the right to vote by somebody from the government.

Answer 4

If It hasn't been done already?

WHy would it just START in 2008?
It would have been easier earlier, there has been 43 U.S. Presidents, and you think a fixed election is going to START in 2008.

NO BOTH, Democrat and Republicans are both sell-outs to human causes, The Corporations have paid them well.

If fixed, then it's fixed from both sides making it EQUAL

F*ck political parties, It's time to vote just based on CAUSES/ CONCERNS that are most important.

Answer 5

I'm more afraid we'll have a debacle like we did in 2000 in Florida and then again in 2004 in Ohio, both pivotal states that ended up giving election victories to George Bush. Those were some sad, sad days and it hasn't gotten any better in the last 6 years.......................

Answer 6

Show, with concrete proofs, which american elections are not fixed and i will be concerned about the next elections. Damned democracy!

Answer 7

I'm not at all concerned. But then again.....Hillary is running for office, so anything is possible and the Dems are extremely desperate.
