Everybody’s heard conspiracy theories that they roll their eyes at. Taken at face value, the titles of the following articles seem pretty ridiculous. Everyone assumes that since we’re installing democracies all over the world, our elections are beyond reproach. In 2000, maybe the issue rang some bells but everybody just sort of dropped it. The problem is, it should be a major concern, but people just choose to ignore it just because it is so messy.

Consider this:

Was the 2004 Election stolen?–RFK Jr.
A meticulously researched article with over 200 sources that were found mostly in major newspapers, but were ignored by the national media. According to the article, John Kerry almost certainly should have won Ohio and therefore the election.

Will the next election be hacked? –RFK Jr.
A follow up on the last article describing how this election could be even more dangerous with all of the electronic voting machines being installed across the country.

Diebold’s letter to Rolling Stone and RFK Jr.’s response
Diebold, the major voting machine manufacturer, responds to the accusations and RFK’s response that that letter.

Democrats have been enjoying huge leads in opinion polls for the last two months. All of a sudden, the polls the day before the election have tightened up. Now there is ample room for chaos, and it will all favor Republicans. Again. The long lines will overwelminly be in urban/Democratic districts, the machine will mistakenly spit out a Republican name, voter rolls will be purged, and who knows what else.

With odds still heavily favoring Democrats at this point, it’d be hard to cheat so much as to keep them from taking the House, but I guarantee the GOP can, at least, voter-fraud their way to keeping the majority in the Senate.

For anyone who didn’t find that interesting at all, but was still bored enough to read through the whole thing, here is an article on getting pot delivered to your door in NYC.
