	Election - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The universal acceptance of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern democracies is in sharp contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype, ancient Athens, where elections were considered an oligarchic institution and where most political offices were filled using sortition.
		When elections are called, politicians and their supporters attempt to influence policy by competing directly for the votes of constituents in what are called campaigns.
		In order for democratic elections to be fair and competitive, opposition parties and candidates must enjoy the rights to freedom of speech, assembly, and movement as necessary to voice their criticisms of the government openly and to bring alternative policies and candidates to the voters.

	Show election - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Show elections are a common event in dictatorial regimes that still feel the need to establish some element of public legitimacy.
		Show elections were commonly seen in the Soviet Union, as well as dictatorships such as Iraq, Uganda, North Korea, and Turkmenistan.
		The "results" of a show election are frequently one-sided to the point of absurdity, with leaders claiming mandates of 90 percent or higher; this rarely occurs in a free democratic election.

	Election result maps
		The (contiguous 48) states of the country are colored red or blue to indicate whether a majority of their voters voted for the Republican candidate (George W. Bush) or the Democratic candidate (John F. Kerry) respectively.
		The presidential election is not decided on the basis of the number of people who vote each way, however, but on the basis of the electoral college.
		Thus this map shows at a glance both which states went to which candidate and which candidate won more votes -- something that you cannot tell easily from the normal election-night red and blue map.

	Harvard Gazette: KSG polls show election interest high
		Two polls this month from the John F. Kennedy School of Government show that a sizeable minority of universities are failing their obligation to help register collegiate voters and, despite that, young voter interest in the 2004 election is higher than four years ago.
		The Vanishing Voter survey showed that half of young adults 30 or under had a conversation within the past day about the election, compared with 25 percent during a similar survey at the same point in the 2000 campaign.
		The Vanishing Voter survey showed that the war in Iraq remains the election's hottest issue, with 43 percent of all voters choosing Iraq over the economy as the issue "of greater concern." Thirty-seven percent said the economy was of greater concern.

	The Free Press -- Independent News Media - Election Issues
		As a legal noose appears to be tightening around the Bush/Cheney/Rove inner circle, a shocking government report shows the floor under the legitimacy of their alleged election to the White House is crumbling.
		Jesse Jackson, among others, has asserted that "public elections must not be conducted on privately-owned machines." The CEO of one of the most crucial suppliers of electronic voting machines, Warren O'Dell of Diebold, pledged before the 2004 campaign to deliver Ohio and thus the presidency to George W. Bush.
		Far from what election theft skeptics have long asserted, the GAO findings confirm that the electronic network on which 800,000 Ohio votes were cast was vulnerable enough to allow a a tiny handful of operatives -- or less -- to turn the whole vote count using personal computers operating on relatively simple software.

		Based on the last part of this article, my guess is that the next few events will be the selection of the Prime Minister, the drafting of the constitution, and the next round of elections at the end of the year.
		The one thing I can be certain of in regards to the Iraqi election is that the first fiteen minutes of this Wednesday's State of the Union address will be unbearable crap.

	2 Florida Counties Show Election Day's Inequities
		The tale of these two counties, as well as Florida's other 65, is under intense review now as federal, state and independent panels study what went wrong in the 2000 election--and seek to ensure it won't happen again.
		County election officials were overwhelmed as hundreds of calls jammed their two phone lines and scores of irate voters filled the tiny office.
		The day after the election, the canvassing board met to review uncounted ballots to see whether voters' intents were clear on undervotes marked with Xs, check marks and stars, as well as overvotes.

		The Seattle show is the brainchild of Jet City Improv veterans Doug Willott and John Boyle.
		As Willott described it, "We wanted to do a show about the elections that was completely relevant but completely non-partisan." Avoiding splitting the audience into red and blue was crucial to their vision, both say.
		To maintain its neutrality, the political parties in the show are not the Democratic and the Republican, instead the cast of eight aligns themselves with the Bull Moose and Whig Parties, household names only to American History junkies.

	In the Bullpen » Translated Forum Post Show Election Plans
		It is known that election committee [lists] are published prior to voting – one, two or a few days before the date of the elections — and you must attack these offices to seize all documents, voter lists, and the [voting] boxes.
		The elections offices which the mujahidin are not able to reach a day or two before the elections, or even on the day of voting, are to be attacked when the votes are sorted.
		Once the elections supplies, including the boxes full of ballots, have been seized, you must hurry to publish this in the media to show the world that the elections which took place were a failure.

		Voting has finished in Italy's general election, and early exit polls suggested that centre-left leader Romano Prodi would be the new Italian prime minister, but others now claim a victory for incumbent Silvio Berlusconi.
		A separate poll by Piepoli, shown a few moments later on Sky Italia television, showed Mr Prodi winning 52 per cent of the vote in the lower house.
		Mr Prodi, 66, beat Mr Berlusconi in a 1996 general election, but his government lasted just two years before it was brought down by disgruntled communist allies.

		The election commission said Friday that an alliance of Shiite religious parties won the biggest number of seats in Iraq's new parliament but too few to rule without coalition partners.
		The results were announced a day after an international review group said the Dec. 15 election was flawed but generally fair considering the country's security crisis.
		The decision to have the election reviewed by outside experts was an attempt to mollify Sunni complaints and encourage them to join the political process.

		So the Prime Minister's account prior to the election and the Prime Minister's account yesterday don't square with the reference he gave Four Corners that the photographs were discussed.
		That's why the Howard Government gagged these public servants before the senate inquiry, because the government was lying, and if you've got nothing to fear then there's no problem with people going forward to tell the truth openly and let the Australian people know what's been going on.
