What do Communists care about elections? I'm a small "c" commie. My big thing is democracy, even if it goes against me. I don't think we have a fair system, but given what we got, it's better than many alternatives. I'll work within the system to try and make things better (fairer ballot access, get rid of the electoral collage, recalls, voter initiatives, IRV, public financing of elections, etc.).

So even though I don't like the Democrats, if they are the people's choice, then they should be in office, and not thwarted by dirty tricks or lack of information. For the same reason, I'm not as concerned about the trickery in Ohio, cause the electoral collage is anti-democratic.
