We're ready even though they moved the polling place back where it was three decades ago.

If we had mandatory voter ID's, it wouldn't even be close. If a dem wins by one vote, the system worked. If he loses by one, the election was stolen or corrupt.

I have an internet connection with a Diebold voter machine in Artesia, NM.

The fix is in. And I store all my music on it. </SRC>

DEM strategy...

Throw the entire voting system into doubt!

The Commies did this with great success...until the whole lieing mess collapsed.

In the meanwhile, it allows then to put up a holy scream that they were not treated "fair"ly.

The sad thing is that the MSM will report their grudge without any deep look into the actual voting.

Hope they keep it up with these articles. Maybe it will scare many of those dems into staying home. We conservatives can handle lines and voting machines. LOL

They must be expecting the Dims to come out in droves!

That is something that I will be checking up on Nov.7th. Will be counting the number of voters who enter the polls at our local precincts. Have my doubts that percentage wise this election will see more than a 1 or 2 percentage increase over any other normal election.

i.e. The New York Times doesn't think the Dems are going to win and this will be pointed too when they lose the election.

This looks like the warm-up for the post election Diebold-Rove conspiracy theories.

This is definitely the NY Times' set-up piece to claim GOP voter fraud at a later date. They must finally be seeing the true, statistically-valid polls that have Karl Rove and Ken Mehlman so enthused.

If this is their motive, it's really diabolical. The states on their list are -- coincidentally I'm sure -- the same ones where the hot, contested battles will be waged for control of the House and Senate.

Can't the Diebold machines be rigged?

Only by Republicans.

Don't you have the secret password?
