Two weeks and a day later, I still can't get the pseudo-election of 2014 out of my mind. Nor should I. For this was the worst campaign and election I have ever seen -- even worse than 1984 when Ronald Reagan was announced as the king of a new morning in America, while out-sourcing and hunger in America were still in "mid-night" mode.
Brad Friedman is also one who has not forgotten this travesty. Indeed we are only beginning to understand what actually happened before and on November 4 (and after?). What should happen now is a contest in the various states' certification process wherever there has been a credible suspicion of dirty tricks or fraud affecting vote totals. Even one vote mis-allocated due to outside interference is still a crime. Thousands and even millions of such votes would be the scandal I speak of. Who can commit to checking into this?
Sadly, Jimmy Carter was and is right when he said a number of years ago his institute, The Carter Center, could not now verify elections in America due to interference in the voting process.
The one hopeful sign I see is the increase in international readership of this blog (and I assume other such blogs). The apparatchiks in the Republican Party are still operating in 1972. But now there is a direct international audience. As long as a free Internet remains, the truth can get out fast. World opinion may yet be a saving grace for this precious democracy.
