   Democrats in these two states are crying that the party is wrong in not counting their votes. The party says the two states violated rules. The voters in these states don't really care about the rules, they want their votes to mean something, they want to count. 

       Not so long ago the Republican party declared McCain as the parties candidate, with several states not even having held their primaries. So in essence none of those individuals vote really meant anything. In general none of our votes mean anything, the entire system doesn't make sense. It's all a show to make individuals think the government is really a democracy. The United States and the UN regularly monitor and question elections around the world. Why can't our elections get the same scrutiny?

        We've seen the electronic machines are unreliable, the paper ballots are slow and can be questioned. After all these years and all the elections held you would think the process would be a science by now. I mean a real science, not the science of smoke and mirrors, but a actual reflection of how the people vote. There is no reason that money should be able to buy an election, but it does year after year. And rule changes that make NASCAR envious.

       Why is it that in a population of over three hundred million we only get the choice of two candidates, surely there are more than two qualified people that could do the job, but the rules and money almost prohibit it. What prevents the election process from changing, oh that's right the process is left to politicians. This country is in trouble and those in control don't what to fix the problem because they would most likely lose control and the people might actually get a say, something the politicians fear.
