The bottom line on all of this is that, increasingly, election systems are so sloppy in New York that you cannot tell where the incompetence ends and the fraud could begin.

The current scandals in Washington should remind us just how far we have strayed from the vision of limited government the Founders handed down to us. So long as government grows more powerful, money will...

Hawaiians would also be unable to fight back, as the state does not allow for referendums, … And, just as on American Indian land, a shopkeeper who is part Hawaiian could claim exemption from state...

Given that Mr. Kerry is clearly exaggerating what happened to minority voters in the 2000 election in Florida, maybe we should wait for him to provide evidence of what he is alleging in 2004.
