Here we go again...

Raise your hand if you think the libs do this intentionally so that they can scream "voter supression" tonight?

Were those electronic machines or mechanical?

In Alexandria, VA, the electronic machine I used was a breeze. Much to my surprise.

Black voters are still predominately liberals. Why is a different question.

It would not serve their purposes to scream FRAUD in a Republican district...everyone would look at the libs, right?

They would think nothing of denying their own the right to vote to create an atmosphere of fraud.

Ohio's problem polling places try to get it right in '06
November 07, 2006 07:45 EST


CLEVELAND (AP) -- A polling place in Cleveland that opened six hours late in May is up and running today.

The Garden Valley Neighborhood House was the epicenter of a disastrous primary for the state's most populous county. All but one poll worker didn't show up, voting machines didn't immediately work and several voters were turned away.

Today, hot cocoa, steaming coffee and pastries greeting voters who were able to cast ballots on the touch-screen machines at about ten minutes after polls were scheduled to open.

The Cuyahoga County elections board has spent the last five months giving poll workers extra training and fixing several of the primary problems.

Slet me put it this way.

If Dems were confident of a win, these stories wouldn't exist. Take that as you will.

I'm sorry, but intentionally fixing the machines to turn away people who would vote for them, just so they can later claim voter fraud, sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory. Especially if the race is close.

geez we can put a man on the moon.............



LOL And I'm not surprised about computerized voting machines... one simple glitch can easily lead to a major breakdown.

I guess those little old ladies that work the polls need to become computer geeks.

I am sorry. Claiming that all these voting machines are failing as part of a conspiracy to disenfranchise Minority voters sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory to me.

Yet that is exactly what this "News" report is doing.

Are you getting the idea that the integrity of this election is going to be somewhat doubtful? Its a sham ...er I mean shame.

Remind me again why the existing machines that had functioned mostly flawlessly for years had to be replaced?
