Election reform

I think the first thing the Democrats should do is push for election reform. The Help America Vote Act, or HAVA, has not actually been implemented everywhere. We need to push for full implementaion of HAVA as well as:
  • electronic machines
  • paper backup
  • more machines
  • independent review
  • federal standards

We cannot allow this sort of ballot rigging to continue:

I don't know if it this had much result in the outcome of the election on Tuesday, but if it did, we need to seriously revisit our election procedures. Imagine the national outrage had this sort of thing happened and a democrat won. Come on, America, we can do better than this.
