I guess after 2000 and 2004 our chance of a fair and legitimate election are dead. The machines are so fixed by Bush's buddies at Diabold (i think is the company).
i don't even think there can be a fair election anymore. What can we do?

Your right Bush's good friend Diebold that owned the voting machines in 2000 and 2004 was rigged, but we caught them red handed and we will have so many people in each voting precinct that will be hard for them to rig the votes, I hope. In my state you have to take your voting card in with you and your party is on your card. In Louisiana they posted signs in the black community that Saturday voting day was going to be so bad that you could go in and vote Sunday which was a total lie. They was trying and did accomplished some that the minority could not vote. It used to be in each party had it's own precinct Democrat or Republican voted in separate places and that way we were assured that we had all our votes in the right hands. This time their so many more Democrats votes that will win with a landslide.

Everyone knows by now that the elections of '02 and '04 were not right. I don't know if there is a solution to the problem but I am leery of computerize voting machines just because it is so easy for any computer to be hacked into.
If each party is willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to get their candidate in office, what's to stop them from dropping several million on a hacker that could alter the outcome of the vote tally.
I know it sounds far fetched but something did happen in the last two presidential elections that left a lot of citizens wondering how Lil Bush got into office when the majority of the popular vote was against him.

I'm concerned about those who would rig it. It probably does happen but not possible on a wide scale.
These machines are programmed by a person, don't you think that if a sizable percentage of machines were programmed to do something wrong there would be dissenters that would speak-up.
But your probably someone who also believes Bush plays cards and has dinner every night in area 51 with his alien buddies.

Although technically possible, the actual likelihood of carrying out massive voting-machine rigging is so small as to be zero. It would involve too many people and in order to keep things secret all of the people involved would have to stay silent...which would never happen. A secret like that would be worth upwards of $1 million, or more.

Nothing. I personally don't know of a single person that voted for Bush. I guess we just hope for the best.

Not too much. There are way too far few Americans that are willing to take the time to vote;
There are way too far few Americans that are qualified who are willing to run for office;
Of those who do vote, and those who do run, there are far too few who are willing to study the issues, but would prefer to go with the most popular opinion;
There is way to much apathy,
But who cares?

No. I am concerned about "rigged" politicians -- in both parties.
