MORE COVERAGE OF OHIO ELECTION FRAUD ISSUES, here and here. If nothing else, the whole thing is shaping up as a big commercial for John Fund’s book, Stealing Elections. But, seriously, an electoral system that we can’t trust is a major weakness. I’ve made this point before, but it bears repeating until, you know, somebody actually does something. We’re already seeing the price of the political class’s fecklessness in economic matters; we don’t need another important system collapsing as the bills for that fecklessness come due.

We need a ballot-counting process we can trust — electronic machines don’t do it — and a system for preventing voter fraud that’s not a joke. Right now we have neither.
