Dr. Fitrakis:

Just read your piece on voting fraud excerpted on the Smirking Chimp.

I don't doubt a word of it. But at this late date, as the next "stealable" election looms, what the hell do we do to at least try to stop it?! Articles like yours that provide no way out of the hell we've been plunged into do less good than harm, simply by increasing the sense of desperation in people already aware of the problem. If you warn me that my house is burning to the ground but have no flippin' idea how I might get out in time, have you really done me a favor? Is inculcating blind, inchoate rage/fear really useful to anybody?

Krugman plans to follow up his very recent column on hack box voting by providing real steps to take to help fight this evil in his next column. Here's hoping that you'll do the same.
