More on voting

Turns out that my district and the precincts in my neighborhood had some of the biggest problems getting the votes counted in our local races. They weren't done counting until Wednesday morning.

Hmmm....predominantly African-American neighborhood + voting and tallying problems + a mayoral race with a black candidate and a white candidate....coincidence? Perhaps. But cynical old Dr. Virago thinks not. I've got no proof, of course. But then, that was the problem with Diebold machines, wasn't it? -- no proof.

I imagine your theory's probably right: it seems to be all too common, after all. I know the Poll Tax was outlawed, but it seems as though The Powers That Be have a way of achieving the same end through different ends a whole lotta the time.

Depressing.

Indeed.
