early election chicanery

this promises to be one of the most entertaining elections since nixon stomped mcgovern. just listen to what's happened so far:

the republicans hired a contractor called ypm to trick voters into changing their political party, often without their knowledge or consent.

the state of michigan denies removing tens of thousands of eligible voters from its rolls.

meanwhile, the ny times said it found problems with voter registrations in co, in, oh, mi, nv, and nc.

at the same time, ahnold schvarzenwhatsit vetoed a bill to make california's convoluted voting process any easier for non-republicans to understand or participate in. (he said he was too busy to make the bill a priority.)

and the beat goes on.
