Voting Fraud
We did not have a President from the time W was sworn in until he was finally gone; we had an unelected Acting President, put in place by a Republican-packed Supreme Court on the fraudulent basis of rigged elections, especially in the Banana Republic of Florida run by W's brother Governor Jeb, and in Ohio where the statistical impossibility of the variance between the official election results and the exit poles has never been refuted.
This doesn't make the Republicans any worse than the Democrats; it just means that this time around the Republican voting-fraud machine outperformed the Democratic voting-fraud machine.
No public official who supports the purchase of any electronic voting device designed without a paper trail has any business holding office, then, now, or in the future. The only reason for installing voting machines without a paper trail is the hope that one's own party's voting-fraud machine will outperform everyone else's voting-fraud machine.
There is no excuse for acceptance of an insecure voting system. A description of a secure voting system is shown on page Voting Security.
