Audio: Why are our elections less trustworthy than Mexico’s?

Reminds me of this old Onion bit. Glenn and Helen talk to John Fund of the Wall Street Journal about tinkertoy electronic voting machines, whether photo IDs are inherently racist, and the “corrosive” effects of creeping skepticism about the integrity of U.S. election results.

The part where Fund awkwardly flatters them about how youthful they look is worth the price of admission.

Bah. I haven’t listened to a Glenn and Helen podcast since the last one that mentioned me. I only listen to podcasts that mention me. I have too short of an attention span for listening about others.

I should mention that IMAO finally has a new podcast out. It’s pretty good, but I haven’t listened to all of it since parts of it don’t mention me.

BTW, I always thought IDs were racist. Especially so when your underage and someone asks for them. That’s embarassing and discriminatory.

And I’ve heard lots of complaints about the validity of elections, but I’ve heard very few suggestions of how we convince the public everything is fine while we reprogram the Diebold machines.

I donno, sore losers perhaps?

What’s wrong with photo ID’s? YOu have to have a photo ID to get on a plane, drive a car, why not vote?

Explain the racism!

Probably with the same reasoning as Global Warming.

There’s no such thing.
