En interessant side vedr. det amerikanske valgsystemet:
Election 2000 showed the U.S. electoral system to be deeply flawed and still
rife with racial iniquities thirty-six years after the passage of
the Voting Rights Act. Some of the problems - voter disenfranchisment, the
influence of big money on politics, and the exclusion of alternative
political voices - are ones that citizens's movements have been working on
for years.
To help energize the forces of change, The Nation has teamed up with the
Institute for Policy Studies, a progressive think tank likely familiar to
many Nation readers, to create an Electoral Reform website. The idea is to
provide a clearinghouse for information, a resource for education and a
springboard for action and interaction. You'll find essays, reports,
investigative articles, legal briefs, legislative updates, activist
resources and an events calendar - even a Voters Bill of Rights. And the
site will be updated constantly. So check it out at:

And, please let us know if you have suggestions, questions, comments or
ideas by emailing to info@thenation.com or a-quinn@mindspring.com
