Never again will there be a problem with either those messy "hanging chads" or those silly Blacks, Hispanics, or other foreign minority groups that seek to vote their own self-interest, thus interfering with the good.

Duhbya Bush will be the next president of the United States -- no matter what the people of the United States might think they want.

The Republibush heirachy has bought insurance to guarantee the results in all future elections by an electronic coup. From now on, the American vote-count is going to be controlled by four corporate players -- Diebold, ES&S, Sequoia, and Science Applications International Corporation.

These companies -- all of them hardwired into the Bushist Party power grid -- have been given billions of dollars by the Bush Regime to complete a sweeping computerization of voting machines nationwide by the 2004 election.

These glitch-riddled systems -- many using "touch-screen" technology that leaves no paper trail at all -- are almost laughably open to manipulation, according to corporate whistleblowers and computer scientists at Stanford, Johns Hopkins and other universities. You know, those hated academics—so feared by the right extremists.

The technology had a trial run in the 2002 midterm elections. In Georgia, serviced by new Diebold systems, a popular Democratic governor and senator were both unseated in what the media called "amazing" upsets, with results showing vote swings of up to 16 percent from the last pre-ballot polls.

Why bother to compromise far-right values by compromise to attract new and minority voters, when by the magic of electronics you can make their vote irrelevant? Ocam's razor cuts out those messy minorities, liberals, and other do-gooders that actually care for the socially disenfranchised.

The Bushists have found a neat, clean, untraceable authoritarian method of perpetuating their power that only takes money-----not people.

I salute the efficacy, Publius
