A PBS special that aired recently covered the 2004 election and some of the screw-ups and sabotaging that went on in polling places, and following monitors as they went into places and informed those monitoring the place that they couldn't do this, they couldn't tell people that, etc.

While some incidents mentioned here sound like a willful attempt to subvert the process, others sound like they could easily be the ignorance of overzealous newbies on the scene. I'm wary of attributing to malice what can be explained by simple stupidity.

Still, very interesting, can't wait to see the whole movie!

It's the "overzealous newbies" and their "simple stupidity" which concern me the most. What are they teaching in schools these days if these kids think it's okay to effectively quell the voices of other voters? I know we live in the era of "No Child Left Behind," but is there no simple morality anymore?

Dude, my mom caucused in Lubbock Texas ... and Hillary won her precinct. Then when they got to the next meeting, magically the numbers were flipped! She said that basically her and some other people tried to protest it, and the Obama people just snickered. She got pissed and ended up leaving. This whole thing is not a joke ... in Texas I believe the caucus going for Obama was complete BS.

Please have your mother go here (http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2008/08/02/the-audacity-of-democracy-teaser/#comment-84975) and tell her story. More people need to come forward because this thing is huge and needs to be exposed.
