Reply #60: I like the idea of EXPLICITLY calling for a "supermajority" [View All]

I have seen several articles quantifying the various structural/artificial advantages the Republicans have due to:

- Electoral College lopsidedness between Dem/Repub states
(a sort of age-old federal-leverl gerrymandering)

- Computerized disenfranchisement of the voting rolls (Choicepoint)

- Computerized tampering with votes case (Diebold, Sequoia)

- Manual tampering with absentee votes

- Other forms of vote tampering

I think a serious effort should be made to quantify this, and then whatever the margin of advantage provided by all the Republican cheating, we should simply state that THIS is how much we have to win by.

If they're gonna rig the system, document how much of a margin it give them - and then tell them we're STILL gonna clean their clocks.

If there's a 70/30 majority this fall anti-Bush (and that wouldn't really be that hard) then it would be TOO BIG A MARGIN for them to rig.
