A Mounting & Horrific Trend!

[HARDCORE]

More and more people are beginning to view voting as an exercise in futility! Although it has occurred in the past, the process of vote stealing (one way or another) now seems to have been elevated to an art form!

Ballot box stuffing and the likes, has now been replaced by the ultimate scam - ?If you do not like the end results of any given election, merely find a way to have an election declared null and void or vestedly turned around in your favor?, usually by employing some hip-pocket barrister who was conveniently waiting in the wings in the event of just such a contingency!

A presidential election or two, and even a current Southland mayoral battle have fallen prey to the no-loose hucksters who sit like snakes under a festering rock, waiting to turn the tide in their candidate?s favor, for a little gratuity of pure spite of course!

Could it be that in the near future, we will dispense with all of the preliminaries and niceties and cut right to the chase- ?NO ELECTIONS, NO SOON TO BE DECLARED INVALID VOTES, NO RECOUNTS, NO HANGING CHADS OR DANGLING TESTICLES?, and most of all - ?NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OR GUARANTEES!?

?HMMM, COULD BE!??
