Litigation is a slow process. My fear is that by the time this reaches the Supreme Court, the 2008 elections will be over and they'll declare it moot. We have to remember that the current Supreme Court is even worse than the one that stopped the Florida recount in 2000. I'm happy to see this case filed I live in San Diego and in November I took our Registrar of Voters to court, alleging that the machines were hackable and the chain of custody was not secure. I lost.

I'm 66 years old. A couple of months ago I went to only the second street demonstration in my entire life, a small protest in front of the Mexican consulate in support of the Zapatistas and the people of Atenco.
