Election Woes
No, I'm not going to contest the vote. But coming on the heels of the Carter Institute's declaration that the US doesn't meet their basic requirements for a fair election, and on the news that it cost us more than $5 billion (that's $5,000,000,000), this is less than comforting:
"The [international] observers [of the US election] said they had less access to polls than in Kazakhstan, that the electronic voting had fewer fail-safes than in Venezuela, that the ballots were not so simple as in the Republic of Georgia and that no other country had such a complex national election system.
"To be honest, monitoring elections in Serbia a few months ago was much simpler," said Konrad Olszewski, an election observer stationed in Miami by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
