Election rigging as the root of fascist ideology of the SCOTUS majority

I just posted "Bursting the SCOTUS bubble" on the general discussion forum.

I refer to the NYT's making fun of Scalia and the Republican majority of the court that decided corporations are just folks like us in "Citizens United."

More importantly, I focus upon Presidential election theft as the basis for that majority, because it put Karl Rove in the driver's seat for selecting justices who would fulfill his promises to the U.S. Chamber that Bush would give business "everything they want."

I hope those of us with a particular interest in election reform will chime in. ABC's "Scandal" is treating election rigging as a matter of fact, although in the fictional way that allows the truth to be freely spoken in a highly censored corporatized world.

Election rigging has been a concern of mine for years. As a software developer, I'm particularly concerned about electronic voting.
