Re-Stealing the Election?

October 6, 2004

A landslide of letters overwhelmed our mailbox in response to Ronnie Dugger's August 16/23 "How They Could Steal the Election This Time," about the problems of computerized voting machines. Calling the article "excellent" and "chilling," readers were "disheartened" and "angered." "Goodbye, democracy!" declared one. A few suggested we all vote absentee to be sure of being hand-counted. One reader directed us to www.invisibleballots.com, and another warned new registrants to check that they really are registered. David Morton of Phoenix declared that Dugger's article "should be required reading for every voter in America."   --The Editors
