To prevent a complete turnover every four years, terms could be staggered so that half members of House are up for re-election every two years. However, in first House election under my plan, half of House would get four-year terms, with other half getting two-year terms. A way to determine who gets four-year terms in initial election would be as follows: The House member in each state with widest margin of victory in that election would get a four-year term. The 168 remaining members (on an at-large basis) with next highest victory margins would also get four-year terms, for a total of 218. The remaining 217 members would get only two-year terms for that election only. For next election only, members who got two-year terms would be allowed to run for re-election, without sitting out two years. Then, beginning with that election, they would all get four-year terms and term interruptions rules would fully take effect.

Very unusual results in Ohio:

In many voting precincts, more votes were cast than number of people who voted. In Cuyahoga county alone, over 93,000 more votes were recorded than registered voters.

In some precincts, ten times number of votes were submitted than number of registered voters. To date, no logical explanation has been given for this. Remember, those 93,000 votes are included in state totals that give Bush a 136,000 victory in state, and that is just one county.

In many democratic areas, people waited hours to vote, while Republicans "challenged" voters' rights to vote, forcing them to fill out a provisional ballot instead of a real ballot. The provisional ballots were not counted on election day.

Flyers were sent to democratic areas with an array of false information on them. People were told their voting precinct had changed, that their voter registration was not valid, or that they would go to jail if they tried to vote.

There are many reports of not enough voting machines being placed in heavily democratic and minority areas. Many Kerry supporters had to wait in line 8 hours to vote.

In one precinct in Ohio, over 4,258 votes were given to Bush where there were only 638 registered voters.

In addition to touch screen machines that produce no paper trail, they are now finding more and more evidence of problems with "optical scanners" that were used to tabulate results in many states. In this case, many people did fill out a paper ballot, and these ballots were fed into scanners that totalled results. These scanners were also manufactured by Diebold and ESS in many cases and are easily hacked.

Many more stories about black box voting machines, optical scanners, their problems, and investigation into their tampering are listed on main page. Blackboxvoting.org is leading way in investigation to proving results were tampered with. Investigations: Six congressmen have sent a letter to General Accountability Office and asked for urgent attention and investigation, citing tens of thousands of voting irregularities. Ralph Nader has also begun an investigation into Diebold and ESS, starting with a hand recount of state of New Hampshire." *

The 6 billion plus people in world need to realize that United States of America is no longer a free Country. Those that control it, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and rest of right wing extremists, are incredibly dangerous men with a fascist agenda bent on shaping world according to their own disturbing neoconsevative beliefs.
