Sure its useful in faulting this operation. if you cannot find the faults
then you can't correct them.

I suspect that a sizable minority have even less knowledge that we do of
what's going on.

As to a mandate , no Bush doesn't have one. He did win a slight majority
but that doesn't equate to a mandate. It also doesn't mean we shouldn't
fault his policies we disagree with.

As far as the voting well I think a nice study of waiting times in various
districts would be quite educational. Was it in Wisconsin where the county
election official was going to print FEWER ballots for some city  than were
printed ( or used don't remember which) in 2002 . Democratic city
republican county. I have NO use for any voter suppression or incompetence.
These questions should never occur PERIOD. I just hope the democrats in
Alabama replace the Sec of State here ( She's a Democrat ) as I am not
impressed ( to put it mildly). if the democrats don't then I hope we have a
competent republican run. Voting and districting should never be used for
partisan purposes. Those who do imho are traitors to this democracy.
