Not only in Arizona, no. He started his research in Arizona, and eventually learned that this is happening across the country. Obviously you did not RTFA (Or not well). And there should be no correlation between district size and voting results. For example, large cities often have a mix of large and small voting districts that are right next to each other, with very similar demographics.

Read this and then tell me whether you still feel like that.

Submitted this related article to Slashdot a few months ago. Bev Harris looked into this as well.

To sum up the above link: An interesting phenomenon has occurred in every state of this year's Republican primaries. Votes appear to be flipped away from other candidates in favor of Romney, with a 99% correlation to precinct size. Although votes are "canvassed" (checked) after each primary, the methods used are primarily designed to detect vote stuffing, rather than vote flipping.

This phenomenon has recently been shown to be absent if you can get your hands on poll tapes from individual machines, rather than from voting tabulators (machines that count the totals from the various voting machines).

Voting machines are just scary stuff. More so since poll tapes are not always made readily available. Thankfully, a bill was recently introduced that would require poll tapes from individual machines (not just tabulators) to be made available by the next day following an election.

It's a tool like any other. It can be used for good or for evil. Juries should always seek true justice first.

The first two issues here are clearly local government, while the third may be a state OR federal government issue. However, in my experience, when people talk about "the government" they are usually referring to the federal government. I would imagine that was the case here.

Furthermore, I suspect that he was being slightly hyperbolic when he said "always" making it worse. Few libertarians argue that all government is completely bad. The (federal!) government could get FAR smaller without cutting off basic services.

As opposed to the free computer you were using before?

It's true that you have to buy a Mac to code for iOS, but that doesn't mean other computers are free. And I don't think most devs are sitting around waiting for someone to retire an old PC, just to get a box to develop for android on.

You work for the TSA, don't you?

The year we got our NES for Christmas, we ended up opening Zelda before the system. We were so upset that Santa didn't realize we had a 2600 and not an NES. Obviously it was a big deal when we did unwrap the actual system.

Then we played Zelda all night. My sister couldn't stay in the same room. The dungeon music made her so nervous she had to go to the bathroom!

When I got the GB version I was so excited I was shaking in the car outside the video game store. Definitely my favorite franchise ever.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that truancy charges themselves are a violation of an individual's right to raise his own children. Guess they already got to you!

I don't think of that as being a bad thing. The leaks in general draw attention to the US's abuse of power, but so do the US's (open) actions and statements regarding Assange and Manning.

I've been wondering how this might affect learning since I read Savant for a Day several years ago. Since it looks like you can actually learn using this technique, it might be time to add some magnets to my tinfoil hat!

No need to replace it at all. We'll keep it, but we'll just be referring to an earlier step in the process!

That's a great point. I believe parties are a huge disruption of the democratic process. I don't believe that parties should be illegal, as that would be a clear violation of freedom of speech and freedom of association. But I do believe that the parties should have zero recognition within the government. There should be no positions of Majority Leader, Minority Leader, etc. Do what you want outside the halls of congress, but inside you should be just another 'aye' or 'nay.' And similarly here. There should be no notification of political party on ballots (If you're going to include their party, why shouldn't you include their stump speech, too? How about their employer? College?), nor should the public be paying for party primaries. Of course, this will make it harder for the uninformed to vote, but that's kind of the point.
