NEW YEAR SAME OLD STUFF

It's a new year, but the trend in various areas of interest have not changed. The worst set of conditions that I can remember now exist in US politics. 

The Governor of Illinois appears to be an unrepentant scam artist who seems to revel in Chicago style politics. He doesn't have the decency to resign with dignity.  He has designated a replacement for a seat in Congress that may be tainted by payoffs and unfair favoritism. 

The government of Minnesota appears to be as corrupt as any third world nation could ever be.  The simple vote counting there, for Congress appears to have been rigged and more than one instance of "ballot stuffing" has occurred. The participants have argued for a recount until the States representatives got the desired outcome. 

I believe that all of the votes cast for all offices both Federal and State at least in Minnesota needs to be thrown out and a new and unbiased set of votes need to be cast. This time, there should be enough oversight of the voting process so that there will be no fraud. All positions that were up for consideration, including the voting for President needs to be considered.  Then, the parties who allowed this to happen need to be censured.
