家园 All starts with vote fraud

这个故事整体上的确让人沮丧,不过还不至于让人绝望,这个村的村民只能说是自作自受,投票的时候干嘛去了,自己的权利自己不珍惜。这事出来以后很轻松地这帮子官员都被驱逐了,总的来说制度还没有失效。

建议看一下:It All Starts with Vote Fraud 外链出处

Four voters told the Los Angeles Times that city officials walked door-to-door urging them to vote absentee. One later was counted as voting absentee even though she said she never filled out a ballot. Two other voters said local council members had personally collected their ballots for delivery, a violation of state law. In addition, a retired Bell police officer has identified at least 19 people he says voted in Bell but were either dead or living outside the country at the time.

One Bell resident, who insisted on anonymity, told the Times he was assigned the job of collecting absentee votes. "Our objective was to retrieve [absentee ballots], and if they were not filled out, instruct them how to fill it out, and if not, fill it out for them," he said. The man has provided a statement to Los Angeles prosecutors, who have opened an investigation.

至于您质问的“投票的时候干嘛去了,自己的权利自己不珍惜”, wiki里面有一句话已经回答了:"It has been reported that some residents went to the polling place, only to find that their votes had already been cast.[25]"

这事出来以后,闹得很大,新闻上连续炒了几天,上过几大全国范围媒体的头条,所以虽然在和CA八杆子打不着的地方,也知道这故事了。官员也不是那么容易被驱逐的,先是狡辩,后来商谈想大事化小,前后折腾了一月才赶下位置,给逮起来了。至于制度,就不评论。
