Non-Fiction Political
Hanging chads, butterfly ballots, voting felons, and Supreme
Court intervention. How bad is the U.S. election system? Bad
enough that at least eight of the 19 hijackers who attacked
the World Trade Center and the Pentagon had registered to
vote while they made their deadly preparations for 9/11!
John Fund explores the way "vote brokers" stole a mayoral
election in Miami in 1998 by tampering with 4700 absentee
ballots. He shows how the "Motor Voter Law" allowed
Californians to use mail-in forms to get absentee ballots
for fictitious people and pets. He discusses the fears of
Internet activists that unscrupulous "Manchurian
Programmers" could manipulate new computerized voting
machines to alter the outcome in 2004. After reading
Stealing Elections, Dr. Larry Sabato, Director of the Center
for Politics at the University of Virginia, said, "Unless we
do some of the things Fund recommends, sooner or later we're
headed for more disasters as bad or worse than what we saw
in Florida in 2000."
