Instant runoff elections Aspen style sparks a voter revolt on BetterBadNews. The panel hears testimony about a clever politician in Aspen Colorado, who gamed an instant runoff election by locating a special early voting ballot box next to his office in city hall. Election procedures violated so many local ordinances the entire election commission had to be purged to protect voter piracy.
Can ballots photographed for verification of voter intent be hidden from public view because somebody in city hall forgot to shuffle the ballots?
And…
An early voting station set up near the mayors office pulled in more than 30% of votes cast. How will abused Aspen voters occupy city hall?

BetterBadNews looks at controlled opposition politics in the age of the cell phone taser app.
In this clip, former Noam Chomsky followers vent their dismay over two Chomsky assertions:
1. It does not matter if Muslims were not responsible for the events of September 11, 2001.
and
2. It does not matter if the assassination of President John F Kennedy was a project of the Pentagon Joint Chiefs?
Noted Canadian media critic, Barrie Zwicker (Towers of Deception) points out that the Chomsky stand down on 9/11 and the Kennedy assassination is mirrored by compromised gatekeepers on the left including; the Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, MoveOn.org and the Democratic Party.
If a secret plan exists to misinform the public wouldn’t we all know about it?
File under: Critical thinking but without the thinking.
