How can you say that the Virginia race wasn't as stolen as much the Presidential election. If these machines can be used so easily to steal elections with the right people working int he polls, why wouldn't the Dems take advantage. If knowing the right people caN give either side power, why not keep the status quo and rely on your connections? Illegitimate power IMHO, isn't limited to the Republicans. If the Dems can get it just as easily, why wouldn't they try?

We've got so many statelegislatures and state executive offices we can throw out all these machines if that's what the Dems wanted. But they are so vulnerable, what makes anybody think that they wouldn't take at vantage of that fact either? Powe4r is corruptable with anybody who has it...
