12. Scary... the lengths some (democrats) will go for power
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 05:17 PM by Essene
Thanks for the info.

Creepy. Scary.

I lived in Harlem at that time and remember voting in 2001 to be extremely suspicious. I myself had my registration brought into question (they had misspelled my name and street address. They nearly didnt let me vote). I had to fill out a special ballot and paperwork. While i was there, i saw at least 4-5 other people going through very traumatic experiences. There were several broken machines as well and the entire place was very tense. I had never seen anything like that before in NYC or elsewhere. I believe i filled out a small grievance card, but that was it.

For all i know, my vote was invalidated. In fact, in retrospect, I'm sure it was...

That was the general election.


What's sad it seeing political campaigns so desperate for power that they would utterly destroy their own party and the integrity of democracy just to obtain it.
