A Wichita State University mathematician sued the top Kansas election official Wednesday, seeking paper tapes from electronic voting machines in an effort to explain statistical anomalies favoring Republicans in counts coming from large precincts across the country.

    I'm wondering whether this is an attempt to get ahead of the inevitable rehash of Florida's election history. The strategy would be to make a big mess in Kansas so that the unholy trinity of network news spends their eyeball time on being "outraged, and appalled" somewhere OTHER than a Bush state.

    Any election committee that isn't expecting the next presidential election to be the most fraud ridden one in U.S. history hasn't been paying attention. It is also likely to see more scrutiny from the public than before. Of course it doesn't matter if they get caught, because the effect on public confidence will have the same seditious effect as the actual vote tampering. One is obliged to consider whether that is the point to begin with.
