匿名 是天真呢,还是天真呢

杀头买卖有人做,亏本买卖没人干。而美国总统选举的买卖何止一本万利。

美国人19世纪就悟了的事,值得什么大惊小怪。

“In counting there is strength”

你尽管投,我只管数,看到底谁说了算。

As long as I count the votes, what are you going to do about it?say?

往近了说,希拉里03年《Living history》讲1960大选

John E Kennedy won the presidential election, to my father’s consternation. He supported Vice President Richard M. Nixon, and my eighth-grade social studies teacher, Mr. Kenvin, did too. Mr. Kenvin came to school the day after the election and showed us bruises he claimed he had gotten when he tried to question the activities of the Democratic machine’s poll watchers at his voting precinct in Chicago on Election Day.

你敢质疑结果直接上手揍

Betsy Johnson and I were outraged by his stories, which reinforced my father’s belief that Mayor Richard J. Daley’s creative vote counting had won the election for President-Elect Kennedy. …… A few days later, Betsy heard about a group of Republicans asking for volunteers to check voter lists against addresses to uncover vote fraud.

当地共和党组织活动去查投票地址和实际人口的对应情况

I ended up with a couple who drove me to the South Side, dropped me off in a poor neighborhood and told me to knock on doors and ask people their names so I could compare them with registration lists to find evidence to overturn the election.

Off I went, fearless and stupid. I did find a vacant lot that was listed as the address for about a dozen alleged voters.I woke up a lot of people who stumbled to the door or yelled at me to go away.

And I walked into a bar where men were drinking to ask if certain people on my list actually lived there. The men were so shocked to see me they stood silent while I asked my few questions, until the bartender told me I would have to come back later because the owner wasn’t there.

简单的幽灵投票

When I finished, I stood on the corner waiting to be picked up, happy that I’d ferreted out proof of my father’s contention that “Daley stole the election for Kennedy.”

Of course, when I returned home and told my father where I had been, he went nuts. It was bad enough to go downtown without an adult, but to go to the South Side alone sent him into a yelling fit. And besides, he said, Kennedy was going to be President whether we liked it or not.

知道里面有耍赖皮,也得接受结果

就算玩点作弊的把戏又怎样呢。星条旗下历次选举,哪一州哪一党敢说自己没使点手段的?这次和以往区别并不是谁有没有作弊,用了什么作弊手段,而是玩家们不想按曾经的明规则潜规则玩了。
