Well, we know that your left shoulder due to your acute "Left leaning",
has a very tough callous on it due to your so called "Open Mind". I
noticed that you didn't mention places and issues like Maryland (&
Baltimore) with it's one party system. And I know that there are others
(Louisiana ?) that fall into the same category that commit scandalous
acts. Because, they can get away with it under a one party system.
Your diatribe is out of place on this list and it is unwelcome.
I have had my say and will not beat your dead horse any further.

P.S. I am and have been a voting judge for the last 14 years in
Maryland ( using Diebold machines the last several elections ) and the
biggest problem with them is they are made so that they cannot think for
the voters. Most of the voting problems with them are due to voter
stupidity ! Superstition due to lack of knowledge ranks next.
How did we get so far off topic anyway ? If I had read a proper subject
line, I never would have even read this trash.
