Reply #47: By all means...

We are now painting a picture... all over the world frightened turd hunters are scrabbling for the interenet to try to understand what the hell is going on here..

As an external observer from a country where democracy does function it is very hard for me to get my audience - here in NZ and in Aus and the UK and Canada and everywhere else to understand the context of this story.

Ballot Access and a corrupt and dysfunctional election system are part and parcel of the same thing.

Ballot Access nightmares like Georgia's make it impossible for the issue of the voting system even to get a look in.

I expect Hugh could answer your query better on this.

So. While I can see the point you are making, for me at least Hugh's story - which I think Bev wanted me to write - fills in a big part of the picture. I expect it will for the readers too.
