Thoughts for the day - The price of voter manipulation

"At least 201,000 voters attempting to vote in Florida in November gave up in frustration over long lines, and Ohio State University study estimates. Some polling places had lines so long they stayed open more than two hours past scheduled closing time."

Editor's note: Florida gave the election to George W. Bush in 2,000 as you might remember when his brother, Jeb, was the governor of Florida. The Republicans manipulated polling practices in many states in the 2012 election which is a shame for our democracy. We Americans have falsely been manipulated into believing we were bringing democracy to the Iraqis and the Afghans when we don't even have it in many of our United States. Perhaps we should clean up our own house first before we try to export corruption and manipulation in voting practices around the world. Right here in Brockport there has been voting fraud for which Rich and Katie Miller were convicted in 2011. There have been many other instances of voting fraud that people are aware of in Brockport but charges were never pursued.
