1. My DVO tshirt was filmed by 11 News at the press conference
for the new Tom DeLay movie this afternoon. Don't know if it will show up in the newscast, but keep yours eyes out for it.

6. Reading this thread is a humbling experience.
Thank you for so beautifully and warmly reminding me that I'm not alone. And neither are you. We're all in this together. We fight 'em together till hell freezes over, then we fight 'em together on the ice.

7. Count me as a black box voter
I had the choice of paper ballot, or electronic. Of course I chose the paper.

It felt good to fill in the black box completely for DVO's. And I too, will be glad to do it again come this November!

9. I had the choice as well and also went the paper route
If i've learned one thing from DU it's not to vote electronically.

20. I voted for you in Tarrant County 3 times!
Oh, elections officials say it was a computer "glitch" that the vote tallies were off by 100,000 votes. Of course, they did not now that until the next day when a candidate inquired about the figures being ridiculously out of wack.

With a possible close 4-way race for governor, look for republican Gov. Perry to get a little extra help from Tarrant County.

T.C. Vote totals as of day of primary 158,108
T.C. actual vote was described as "about 58,000" in the Star-Telegram.

24. I just saw that article - snafu?
http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/news/local/14056065.htm
Vote spike blamed on program snafu
An undetected computer glitch in Tarrant County led to inflated election returns in Tuesday's primaries but did not alter the outcome of any local race, elections and county officials said Wednesday.

The error caused Tarrant County to report as many as 100,000 votes in both primaries that never were cast, dropping the local turnout from a possible record high of about 158,103 voters to about 58,000.

Because the errors added votes equally for each candidate, the glitch did not change the outcome of Tarrant County races but narrowed the margin of victory in some statewide races. In the close Republican primary race for Texas Supreme Court, for example, incumbent Don Willett edged past former Justice Steve Smith by only about 1 percentage point with the corrected vote tallies.

Questions about possible problems were raised by election staff late Tuesday night, as it became apparent to some that the county would far exceed the 76,000 votes cast in the 2002 primary elections.


Harder, slower, less secure - the real truth about e-voting. It's a scam, Roger Williams - occupant of the Secretary of State's office.
