Any third-party effort is a worthwhile and honest effort compared to voting for some form of theatrical lesser evil. The support that the Tea Party and Ron Paul received shows that people do want an honest alternative to the establishment machine and its picks. But it is clear that fraud runs deep in the electoral-linked electronic companies, the on-the-ground organizations, and the judiciary is of no help either. And as one smart controller of power from Soviet Russia supposedly said… it is not the votes that matter but who counts the votes… I think :) Fact-check time: Boris Bazhanov (Stalin’s former personal secretary, who defected in 1928) claimed in a 1992 edition of his memoirs that in 1923, regarding a vote in the Central Committee of the Communist Party, Stalin said something like: “I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.”
