even tho everything we see in our daily lives shows the public to be more and more liberal ,somehow the "results" the machines spit out at us say we vote more and more conservatively

who owns the machines and the super secret software?

1%ers that's who

I have read even here at du that the constitution has failed us but honestly we the people failed to exercise our check on power by giving up the RIGHT to count our own votes in a transparent and open manner

thank you for mentioning this most important point
