textDeath of Democracy in Ohio by Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman
The 2004 election in the Buckeye state was riddled with deception, fraud, intimidation, manipulation and outright theft, all of which were essential to the triumph of George W. Bush. In 2005, four electoral reform ballot initiatives were allegedly defeated despite huge poll margins showing the almost certain passage of two of them. The most credible explanation for their defeat lies in electronic manipulation of voting machines, tabulators and memory cards which the GAO confirms have no credi...

textArnold Lies, Tookie Dies by Casey Mills via Beyond Chron (reposted)
Last May, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger changed the Department of Corrections to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, a renaming many believed signaled a shift of the state from exclusively punishing criminals to a belief that with help, prisoners could turn their lives around. Last night, Schwarzenegger refused to stop the execution of a man who, while locked up, went from a gang leader to a prominent crusader against guns, drugs and violence. It's hard to imagine a better exam...
