According to the Denver Post, SWAT Teams were brought in at the last minute to count ballots in our local elections because our Elections Commission botched the job again. The city justified this exercise in police supervision of elections by saying that the police had underground background checks. I, for one, am a bit suspicious that the same overgrown thugs who beat and pepper-spray people in the streets practicing their first amendment rights have any business counting votes. Police are a direct threat to Democracy. Having them involved in the electoral process is a further example of America's confusion between Democracy and Police State--particularly in our "Democrat" led city.
