You're kidding yourself if you think this shit don't happens on both sides.
Altough the Dems are famous for getting dead people to vote and god forbid you have to show some form of ID to prove you are who you say you are and you can only vote once.

Um...did I say anything bad about needing a form of ID to vote? No. Actually I am for that because then you know each person is who they claim to be and you can only vote once.
I know there are people who vote who are dead.
My point with what I wrote is that in Ohio the person in charge of overseeing the election was also the head of the Re-elect Bush effort in that state. He is on record as saying he would do whatever it took to deliver Ohio to Bush and it looks like he did just that. The exact same thing happened in Florida in 2000.
I know that both sides cheat. Here is an idea. Where I live we vote by mail. They mail you a ballot a couple of weeks before the election, you fill it out and mail it back. If you wait until election day there are a lot of places you can drop it off at. This provides a few things. 1. A paper trail. There is an actual ballot that can be checked if a recount is needed or if there is any question. 2. There is no confusion about districts and polls or waiting in line or going to the wrong place. 3. There are no technical "glitches" where the computer "accidentally" counts wrong. and 4. You can take your time at your house and check the ballot out so you make sure you fill it out correctly.
I've always thought there should be some kind of a commission that oversees all elections and has it so that every state does things the same way. Also, this commission would have nothing to do with either party and would operate independently. This, I think, would help curb the corruption on both sides.
