November 22, 2004MoveOn's Next MoveYou got to hand it to MoveOn.org. Despite a record of electoral losses, they run an efficient ship. They've already held a round of post-election house parties to identify new priorities.
Electoral reform sounds like a good idea to me, but even if it does succeed, it's not clear to me it would result in Democrats getting elected. It also smacks of denial--we can't really be in the minority, it must be electoral fraud. Posted by rickheller at November 22, 2004 11:04 PM Comments
As a Republican, albeit one who supported Kerry, I'm a firm believer in electoral reform. What I don't want to see is the credibility of bipartisan efforts to improve election processes and procedures undermined by discredited organizations. We have real challenges facing us, and it will be difficult enough to sell the idea of investigating and reforming those who won in 2004. I'd like to see progress on the free federal election ID, paper backups/receipts for electronic voting systems, and uniform procedures for voter registration/purging. What I don't want is paranoid suspicions of election tampering or stealing in 2004 to contaminate that process. NC at least had very real electronic voting problems that made the difference in local elections there, though not at the presidential level, and they deserve attention.

Posted by: Tully at November 22, 2004 11:31 PMI hope Move On and like minded folks like Kos stay involved... It is sure to mean the defeat of the radical liberals they endorse. I say more power to them. By the way... How did Dean's dozen fair in the last election... Hmmm? What do they mean by electoral reform? Posted by: Mathew at November 23, 2004 09:56 AMI have one idea for electoral reform... BAN 527's!!!!! Posted by: Mathew at November 23, 2004 09:57 AMThey could sure use them in the Ukraine. Posted by: Chris at November 23, 2004 12:54 PMIf ever there was an organization that was a shining example of selective outrage, it would be MoveOn.org. As much as I dislike Bush, I have even more contempt for MoveOn. Posted by: Don T. Know at November 24, 2004 08:30 PM |
