Why Does The Average Person Not Give a Crap?

While the whole country seems to be on pins and needles regarding the outcome of the Scott Peterson trial, very few people seem to care that, right this second, all out war is being waged in Falluja while every single day there's more and more evidence that last week's election was a total joke. I just saw this courtesy of Americans for America:

(in Cuyahoga County, Ohio there were)
97,489 EXTRA votes beyond 100% in those precincts! This is just for ONE county!:

And, courtesy of AMERICAblog, there's this little gem:

Citing concerns about potential terrorism, Warren County officials locked down the county administration building on election night and blocked anyone from observing the vote count as the nation awaited Ohio's returns. County officials say they took the action Tuesday night for homeland security, although state elections officials said they didn't know of any other Ohio county that closed off its elections board. Media organizations protested, saying it violated the law and the public's rights. The Warren results, delayed for hours because of long lines that extended voting past the scheduled close of polls, were part of the last tallies that helped clinch President Bush's re-election....

WCPO-TV (Channel 9) News Director Bob Morford said he's "never seen anything like it." When he first heard about Warren County's building restrictions, he said he understood concerns that too many people could make the counting process "a circus." But he said it's never been a problem in the past, and that the county could have set up a security checkpoint and had people show identification.

"Frankly, we consider that a red herring," Morford said of the county's "homeland security" reason. "That's something that's put up when you don't know what else to put up to keep us out."

Red Herring...Smoking Gun. No matter what you call, it stinks. Re-VOTE!
