Defiant, I supose I could look around on the net and copy my own collection of bumper stickers to compete with yours, but I don't have the time or see the point. I suspect are votes are being counted as accurately as possible, given that humans are doing it. There is undoubtedly some fraud, there are some shaky tactics - there always has been and always will be.
I doubt very seriously that it's much better or worse than it was in 1960, when Nixon was encouraged to pull a Gore and sue over blatantly tampered results in Illinois and Chicago. He declined to do so. Whether he declined to do so because he was a great patriot who didn't want to divide the nation, or because he knew how fucking vulnerable to the same charges he was in Ohio & Indiana (I think), is a matter of interpretation.

Actually, I was just looking to see who made a certain quote that had been rolling around in my head for a while, and came across a site with a whole bunch of bumper stickers that Red and I really liked. I was just sharing some that seemed appropriate.
For the most part, I agree with you on the vote counting. Sometimes the count is inaccurate due to honest mistakes and sometimes it is due to corruption. It probably does all work out in the end, and thank God we still have the Electoral College instead of just going with the total vote numbers.
I do, however, believe that the spirit of the Constitution is no longer alive, or at best is in a vegetative state and on life-support.
