Robert F. Kennedy Jr., LLM Biography
- Title:
- Chief Prosecuting Attorney for the Hudson Riverkeeper and President of Waterkeeper Alliance
- Position:
- Con to the question "Do Electronic Voting Machines Improve the Voting Process?"
- Reasoning:
-
“What is most anomalous about the irregularities in 2004 was their decidedly partisan bent: Almost without exception they hurt John Kerry and benefited George Bush. After carefully examining the evidence, I’ve become convinced that the president’s party mounted a massive, coordinated campaign to subvert the will of the people in 2004. For the second election in a row, the president of the United States was selected not by the uncontested will of the people but under a cloud of dirty tricks… If the last two elections have taught us anything, it is this: The single greatest threat to our democracy is the insecurity of our voting system.”
