Coprocracy. Rule by human excrement.

(Okay, a Google search shows that someone named Koster beat me to it.)

I didn't need a majority vote to further my faith in human stupidity.

I really didn't.

(BTW, does anyone have an idea of whether voter suppression and/or election fraud could have accounted for Bush's 2.7% lead (as of this post) in Ohio?)

Ordinarily, I wouldn't waste your time and mine by posting what we're all thinking. But I had to share the word "coprocracy".

Edit: Ah, so Ohio was using Diebold machines. How widespread were they? The answer to that will affect whether I start referring to Bush as the president.

Edit edit: It's not just Diebold in on this. Kerry seems to have won the popular vote in Florida and Ohio; just not the electronically counted (official) vote. Hence, Bush retains his title of "Dirtbag". (This is merely my extrapolation from the data available (once I found relevant data - it took a while). I have no privileged information.)

Sorry, I think "kakistocracy," an existent word, is better: Rule by the worst citizens.

I guess it doesnt really matter about that supression since Kerry just gave the lead to Bush. We are all doomed..

Yes, I quite like the word "kakistocracy," and almost posted as an excuse to use it instead of my word.

In fact, I hereby encourage others to do so. This is our best opportunity to spread the word (so to speak).

I'm not sure how widespread, but it was Ohio that the CEO (or some such) of Diebold claimed to be intent on delivering to Bush.

I read somewhere that in states that don't use Evoting, exit polls almost exactly matched the results; in states that did, Bush got 5% more votes than exit polls predicted. Tinfoil hat? *shrug* That's the beauty of it- we can't prove it either way, and they can marginalize us even if it's true.

My extensive searches have been fruitless. (It's too new to have hit Google, I guess.) Where can I find the source(s) for this?

5% is enough for Diebold to have made good on its promise to hand Ohio to Bush. Heck, it's enough to fully reverse the lead in Florida!
