We've been proven right about the voting machines.
Word is out that in Orange County, California, the voting machines were down in one of the more liberal areas of the 69th A.D. Even the head of the Orange County voters couldn't tell the poll workers how to collect provisional ballots from those disenfranchised by the non-working voting machines. Lots of voters had to go home without voting.

3. Why don't they have test runs before voting day
In what other important endeavor do you wait till the rubber meets the road to find out you don't have air in your tires?

9. This IS a test run
at least to show the world that the opposition can do NOTHING about it and reassure Bush's backers he will win no matter what.

Actually the fact that these machines can't even function when it would be smart to keep the heat off proves they want this "glitchiness"(blamed on the "human" factor) as legal cover. Perhaps they even want people to get sick of the trouble and rush to the next level of Internet voting.

As long as resistance lags they will forge ahead where no moral human dares to go.

5. I am very concerned about the touch-screen voting machines
there is no audit trail, and the potential for fraud is very great.

I think we should pay more attention to this issue!

11. Goofball in FL they always show
the news always shows that idiotic man looking at the ballot like it was from Mars. Having myself served on a recount - the task was not that difficult.
But the fool they use on the TV spots should have been ridiculed for his inept behavior, instead it was used to make the case that punch cards were just too difficult for a person of average intelligence to figure out.

Wow- Unbelievable
We should keep this kicked, and anyone who sees stories about it, post links and post them in LBN. Then everyone write letters to our newspapers!
