"In a society that believes in nothing, people who believe in anything can appear to have great power. But this says more about how isolated and atomized we have become rather than reflect their true power."

- paraphrased from The Power of Nightmares

Is there no way that the government can stop each state from independently setting up its own voting system?

I don't think so. My government's too cheap to spend money on making sure that all the voting is done within set guidelines. They'd rather not spend money to ensure an honest election when they can spend billions and kill my countrymen and people in foreign lands- where's the fun in that?

I have a friend in Sacramento who works for Calpirg, this organization that lobbies for environmental issues. Maybe the solution would be for people to spread the word, to get more proactive. Your country has four years to prepare itself for the next election.
