Mr. Kobach was eating white, I mean vanilla ice cream the day that Greg Palast confronted him with documents he was sure had been kept confidential, proving the alt-logic of his registration rolls. Kobach hit the ground running, not without first gulping down the last of his desert, I mean dessert, and calling Palast a LIAR. At least Mr. Palast wasn't removed from the scene by police, as he was when attempting to confront Florida's Director of Elections with Katherine Harris's bogus lists in 2000, which was filmed by the late Danny Schechter in his film on Election 2000, "Counting on Democracy." There is a photo of Palast confronting Kobach at the top of www.gregpalast.com today.

But who can film or photograph the demise of democracy?

The more that voting has become a hot topic lately, the less voting integrity is involved. The real, not "alt" thing.

We must continue to battle alt-realities and instead somehow maneuver the alt's to a reality alt to theirs.

Remember that in math, when you multiply two negatives you get a positive.

Here's hoping AND, by the way, WE HAVE TO FIX THAT!**

**These five words were spoken twice in public by former President Barack Obama with reference to the long lines that plague elections in this country. His words gave birth to the 2014 report published by another commission concerned with improving elections, The [bipartisan] Presidential Commission on Election Administration. See click here and, for my take on it, see .thealliancefordemocracy.org/pdf/AfDJR6419.pdf.
