I think these are fair points and definite possibilities! I don't, however, know that I'd agree that these hypotheticals are enough to deny voting rights for local and school elections (remember, the 16 year olds won't be voting for Bush in this scenario). So I don't know if money and propaganda is quite so influential at that small scale--I haven't found it to be in the past. Most people don't even know their local elections are happening, much less know who the party line says to vote for.
