Book Review: With Liberty and Justice for Some

By Luther Weeks on July 19, 2012

We can have access to complete information from a free and robust media, have the cleanest elections possible, yet without the rule of law, we do not have democracy. Without the rule of law, journalists and whistle-blowers will not be protected, and election integrity would be unlikely.

Vote absentee, only if you have to!

By Luther Weeks on July 11, 2012

The already registered voter must request the ballot; the administrator must receive and process the request; the administrator must in a timely manner send the ballot to the voter; the voter must receive the ballot; the voter must vote correctly, on time and provide the proper verifications (such as the voter’s own signature and/or that of a witness); the administrator must receive the ballot on time; and the administrator must count the ballot.

Yet, voter fraud would still be rare and generally ineffective. Not so with voting fraud, especially that committed by insiders.

Last year in similar circumstances, with allegations of fraud and a clear conflict of interest a court ruled in favor of the candidate
