Honest Voting

Today Digby wrote with the usual incisive grace about the HBO movie Recount. It gave her nightmares, she said, nightmares about the month she spent screaming at the television about the Republican spin.

My distaste for that month of spin remains so virulent that I can’t bring myself to watch the movie. Probably not ever. Do I want to watch some of my favorite actors inhabit the characters of political operatives and drive home yet again how passionately those operatives felt their cause was just, to the point that collusion and fraud seemed like natural acts? Probably not ever.

We need to watch the electoral process especially carefully this year. As Digby points out, Tim Griffin, handpicked by Rove to replace the fired US attorney in Arkansas, was just hired to run the RNC’s Obama opposition research team. “..The voter fraud apparatus that Rove and others before him have built, which includes Republican lawyers like Carvin and Griffin, is still up and running.”

More later, while I do a quick brain scrub at the new Indiana Jones movie.
