8. Lazy mans approach...
Invalidate the process rather than examine the trends and see why people may have voted differently than they polled.

Come on, this really is a slack way to respond.

9. Remind me of what Obama did about election fraud
I doubt that's what happened this time, but perhaps he should rethink his position of remaining silent on the issue.

13. I agree this voting machine fraud issue is going to come to bite all these Dems in butt.
How many of them of done anything about it?

We're to blame too. How many of us have a handle on this issue? Most Dems'level of interest and knowledge is pathetic.

No wonder the voting machines can continue to work for their corporate and Republican masters.

This is a no brainer.

12. Just stupid. Hillary won fair and square!
I couldn't be more upset right now, but why would Diebold let McCain win and Romney (the Republican establishment's choice) lose? Just be gracious and accept that Hillary did the impossible...don't minimize her amazing victory!

15. No... Democracy won tonight
Record numbers of voters came out to have their say. These folks don't normally vote in primaries and therefore where not counted in the polls.

There is no conspiracy, just good old fashioned democracy.

16. So those record crowds turned out to be for Hillly?
And then melted away? This does seem a little odd.

19. Sour grapes = boring
Especially, given the Gloat-O-Bama after Iowa. But, we all knew it was a matter of time before substance caught up with celebrity.

20. feasting on sour grapes?
After all, that 15 point lead Obama supporters were claiming just.wasn't.there. So of course it's GOT to be something else?

22. So why didn't Dennis do something about Diebold?
After all, Diebold does it's dirty business in Ohio.

Gee, you would think some of these naysayers would be more comfortable at freerepublic. You can say almost anything there.

24. If you believe all the elections are going to be rigged,
why bicker over candidates? The repuke nominee would win no matter what right?

Seems like a big waste of time and energy to argue over all these candidates if Diebold is going to decide it...

27. Bottomline: Diebold continues to control elections, "we'll just have to trust them"...or
go bat-shit when Hillary is upumteen % over the repug candidate and on election day, we'll be informed that the polls got it all wrong. Is that what it'll take?

Good luck reforming the system when you sound like an uninformed conspiracy theorist.

31. The mere fact that their machines were used was their victory...
including the model that was the very same one exposed as infinitely vulnerable to no-evidence fixing in the HBO documentary.

That seven years into the exposure of the potentials for electronic vote fraud these machines are still in use anywhere (still being purchased in some places) is a clear enough victory.

35. The exit polls agreed with the results. There is no voter fraud issue
If you're pissed off, be angry at the media that built up the pre-election polls into a big bloody deal.

37. Incidentally, I'm not personally angry over NH, and haven't researched polls...
Because in this instance I don't see it as being that crucial. Irrespective of candidates, electronic voting obviously needs to be done away with.

38. I'm with you on electronic voting. That is why we need to pick our cases carefully
and not cry wolf over every election result we may not like.

The 2000 election was destroyed by the Supreme Court. The 2004 seems to have been a result of voter fraud on many levels, including the Dielbold machines.
