Okay, not exactly an NBC affiliate, but bear with me. The local Pax station in Syracuse, of course, is running the odious smear against Kerry (replete with links to NewsMax.com).

Now, the local Pax station in Syracuse, WSPX, is the "sister station" of our NBC affiliate, WSTM. For instance, the 11 o'clock local news on WSTM repeats at 11:30 on WSPX.

If WSPX is receiving money to show this Bush propaganda, than WSTM probably is too, as they are in a direct relationship with the WSPX. As far as I'm concerned, this NBC affiliate is as culpable as Pax. Let them know how you feel. And then GOTV.

Information about the sales departments of WSTM, WSPX and WSTQ (a Sinclair station, by the way), can be found here.

Why it is so easy to steal an election.

I used to live in Maryland, but moved to New York several years ago. However, I still receive sample ballots at my former address in Maryland (which is my parent's house), because I am still on the voter's rolls in my former county.

This year, like every other year, my mother called to say I received a sample ballot for the state of Maryland. This year, I finally decided to do something about it. I looked up the county's Board of Election's contact info on the web and emailed them that I was seeking information on being removed from their election rolls. This was their reply, in total:

"We will take care of removing your name from our register. Thank you very much for notifying us."

That's it. No challenge, no authentication. No seeking information about who I was, apart from my name in my email address.

No wonder it's so easy to steal an election in this country.

We must monitor the polling stations as well

We are doing an excellent job of GOTV and we are fighting the spin war as well as the GOP has ever done. Our activism cannot stop there -- we can get the people to the polls, but we must also be sure that they will be allowed to vote.

I plan on taking off some of Election Day and hitting the polling stations in the poorer neighborhoods of my fine city and watching to make sure that there are no shenanigans going on. We have all heard the stories that the GOP plan on challenging people as they try to enter the polls and vote!

We must stop this if we see it happening.
