Reply #11: How to steal the election in 4 mundane steps.

[SnowGoose]

No need for earthquake machines, I'm afraid. There's a much more mundane and well-tested method. You can see it happening all around you right now.

1. Get in bed with weathy Mega-corporations and the media outlets they own, offering shady tax breaks and massive deregulation.

2. Sit back and enjoy the stilted coverage, while occasionally making the rounds on all the talk shows to decry the out-of-control "liberal media". Make sure there are plenty of polls that show your opponents' candidate is "unlikable".

3. Have your corporate buddies draw up the eligible voter rolls, design, build, and program the voting machines in complete privacy - skimming just enough votes to squeak by.

4. After the election, say something like "we need to all pull together now."
