    Legislative seats (either state or federal) are certainly NOT "soft targets". The great majority of them are carefully gerrymandered to maximize reelection of the incumbent party. The only elected positions even close to level playing fields are city or county-wide offices like mayor (e.g. Gayle McLaughlin in Richmond).

    Facts require citations. You have consistently provided NO citations on any of your "facts" anywhere in this discussion. Who are you that we should take your statements at face value without some kind of evidence of their factuality? Here

    Of course, the link is not official. The "official" tally had Bush winning... which is why he's President.

    Did you ask everyone else for their sources as well?

    Right... because there wasn't a single shred of possible evidence to NYT's claims.

  4. What pissed off the military last time... by MyNameIsFred · · Score: 5, Interesting · on No Secret Ballot for Military Personnel?

    I know several people in the military, who were absolutely enraged with the last election because their absentee ballots were'nt counted. See this for example. They were far more angry that their vote was usurped, then they were concerned about someone seeing their vote.

    I'd venture to guess that Al Gores supporters are more clustered where as Bush Jrs supporters more evenly distributed.

    Don't bother to guess. Just read the map.

    It looks just like you say, although there's a propaganda message attached. This image is a demonstration of the hazards of forced quantization.

    If the data-plotting had been more informative, the image would be less useful for spinsters. For example, if the counties had been drawn paler when they are less populated, then most of the big red zones would fade down to pale pink.

    Or if they had been colored a mix of red and blue according to percentage of votes (rather than winner-takes all) the entire country would be purple, with only bluish splotches in a few areas.

  6. A comprehensive discussion of gerrymandering... by tcopeland · · Score: 5, Informative · on Gerrymandering by Computer

    ...including nice charts and graphs can be found here on FraudFactor.

    From the examples given in the FraudFactor article, both sides seem guilty of gerrymandering whenever possible.

    feel free to try to vote him out next time and let democracy work

    Voting no longer guarantees democratic-like representation in the USA. The 2000 prez elections saw that in full glory, corruption that would have caused a furore in most countries. There were a variety of fraudulent schemes in that campaign, but the one that takes the cake is the "database of felons" scheme covered by Greg Palast. Amazing how well this info was/is suppressed in the great media machine.

    Stem-cell research policy from on-high will likely be highly partisan, influenced by a mixture of 'life-sciences' / pharmaceutical corporate back-room deals and a nod to the christian right doctrine necessary for the right optics to primary supporters. [see: "Iraq, reconstruction graft"]

    Well, as you said, feel free to "try."
