Diebold Leaks 2008 Election Results 196
samzenpus writes "With all the scrutiny that Diebold has received in past few years you'd think that they would be more careful but apparently due to a malfunction in some machines, they have leaked the results to the 2008 presidential race early. Hopefully this will be the nail in Diebold's coffin. Surely we have another company in this country that can run a sham election better."

Really, there not king, they need other people to agree on things,. have two parties not liking you gets exactly nothing done. Granted, getting nothing done would have made the last 7 year much better.
Of course the media screwed Edwards. I didn't want him to win, but the media just ignored him and tried to makes it a Race/Woman thing. frankly I applaud both candidates for not rising to that bait.

Don't give up your vote just because the Republicrats limit you to two bad candidates. Men fought and died to get you that vote. Leaving a ballot blank is the modern day equivalent of burning the US flag.
If you really want to show them who's boss, and prove that they cannot limit your vote, vote for a third party that offers a candidate that is closer to your values than the Republicrats. I'm not a Libertarian shill, but the Libertarians are a freedom-based compromise between the Republicrats. Personally, I was really hoping Ron Paul would run third party or independent, but that football team mentality of "my party first, the country second" runs deep. And there's also Nader, but don't vote for him unless he has enough states such that he could possibly win (same goes for the Libertarians, but they usually get enough states).
