You know how I know this was not rigged?
How did our country get so fucked up in the first place? It's idiots voting with no true understanding of what is wrong with our country voting for politicians for whom they don't even understand what evil they represent.
I believe this vote. The VAST majority of Americans don't really care bout civil liberties or freedom because they have not seen or have not noticed it affect them personally - even though they should have.
While our economy is a hollow shell, most Americans live a decent lifestyle and seem to think it is OK to have $10,000 in credit card debt and no retirement savings, and yet they have no understanding of what is really wrong with our economy and how all Hell will break lose in the coming months to years.
As for Republicans, the majority of the base has bought the GOP and Fox fearmongering and warmongering in regards to Iraq and the "war" on terror.
Fact is, RP has intelligent supporters and the vast majority of Americans, I am sorry to say, are clueless. So yes, I believe the votes are correct.
What is contrived is the big media, big government and big corporation message that the sheeple eat up. So, in a way it is rigged - but I don't think the votes are. It's more along the lines of fascist thought control.
