Hey gang, I've been off the board for some time now but I'm dropping back in! So I just got the invite to this event and was curious as to whether there is any buzz about it on the board. It took me all of one minute to finish my registration! I'm just thrilled to go golfing up in Half Moon Bay with fellow Subaru owners! So does anybody have any specific insight to this event? -chemboy2

Yeah apparently they are gonna sue even if it's not a close election, that really saddens me, why would you sue just for the fact of sueing? Oh well. -mike

This election will be VERY close, Mike. The anger from 2000 has not receded and polls are being watched very closely. The number of new registrations here have been enormous. The lawsuits currently in court have mostly to do with lack of recount ability; see this article from today's NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/19/nyregion/19voting.html?oref=log- in But these will be nothing compared to what will follow; there already are complaints about Glenda Hood, Katherine Harris's successor here. She already has tried to fiddle around with the vpter rolls; one way by adding thousands of blacks (who generally vote Democratic here) to the no-vote list while adding only 80 Hispanics (who generally vote Republican). Needless to say, that list was scrapped after very quickly. She has also tried to invalidate many new registrations.
#22608 of 31352 Congratulations Brenda and Jack! What a surprise - - by subaru_team Oct 19, 2004 (4:37 pm)
and a great way to go about it. This way, it was all about the two of you and not about trying to make it work out for other folks. I'm thrilled for you and please welcome Jack to our family. Patti
#22609 of 31352 Chemboy - I'm glad you are excited about going! by subaru_team Oct 19, 2004 (4:37 pm)
Subaru runs some events like this throughout the year. Anyone else from here going? Patti

I meant they are gonna sue even in non-close districts, not just in FL, etc. I think that's just a cry-baby attitude to say "well even if we are totally defeated by a large margin, then we'll sue anyway" Kinda thumbs their nose to the whole democratic process.... -mike

Should just dump the Electoral College while the suits are going. Steve, Host (who voted today, so spare me the political talk 'cause I'm done <g>)
#22612 of 31352 Elections by grahampeters Oct 20, 2004 (5:59 am)
G'day Maybe we should export our version. Australia has Universal Sufferage and actually requires all enrolled voters (ie if you are over 18 and an Australian Citizen) to vote. Heavy fines if you don't without good reason and about 95% of the population gets a valid vote in at each election. Australians tend to be fairly civic minded without the need for heavy handed civics teaching. We had our federal election about 10 days ago with the conservative Liberal Party of Australia being returned with an increased majority. Given that everyone, including the politicians had expected a cliff-hanger, the Prime Minister is still looking like a Cheshire Cat. The opposition is still in blood letting mode as its leaders seek to avoid their necs being chopped. Abosolutely nothing to do with Subarus but for the fact that after the rosey predictions of furture economic prosperity before the poll, life has instantly shifted to "Shock! Horror!, Disaater. inflation will rise on oil shock. Why am I cynical? Petrol prices are on the rise. Cheers Graham
