Election 2000 Replay?

John Broder of The New York Times writes this morning:

"America could very well wake up on Wednesday, Nov. 3, not knowing who won the presidential election. Judging by the latest polls, the race is close enough in a number of key states that human error, technical foul-ups and the inevitable legal challenges could delay the results for days or weeks, in an unwelcome replay of 2000.

"...The two major parties have brigades of lawyers ready to file legal actions at the first signs of irregularity at the polls. Already, lawsuits are challenging voter registration procedures in several states, and more litigation is sure to come anywhere that it might affect the outcome."

As the two major parties become -- outside of their rhetoric -- more and more alike (i.e., statist), this trend of tight national races and democracy-by-lawyers is bound to continue. And by even wider margins, non-voters will continue to be, as they've always been, the majority in political elections in this country.

Rock the non-vote!
