By A quick note to pass on while I sit here in the tiny (but free-wireless equipped) terminal:
When discussing the various gross irrationalities and inequities of the election system, I think it’s important to note that the system is a scandal whether or not it can be proven that it swung the 2004 election. Given the margin and the number of unknowable variables, I don’t think it can. But that doesn’t make the system any less unjust. I would also repeat again that the American electoral system represents the a priori veneration of federalism at its most damaging.
