The major article in the upcoming print issue of The Nation is election reform. The Nation has a dubious record of sincerity on election reform. They were primary culprits along with the Washington Post and the New York Times in derisively ridiculing allegations of election fraud in November 2004 [1]. The Nation Institute’s Investigative Fund funded Russ Baker’s ludicrous “investigation” published in early Jan 2005 again dismissing allegations of fraud. (my response to Baker). That said, here is "Just Democracy" by The Nation's publisher, Katrina vanden Heuvel.
