The Voting Problem Moves Mainstream

Feel free to flame if you like, but the reports of problems with Florida's new touch screen voting machines are/were widespread. Just because the media overall isn't giving these reports a lot of airtime doesn't mean they're invalid. Many people kept trying to vote for Kerry in FL but were unable to get the machines to register their votes without using the tip of a pen or pencil to touch the box on the screen. Mysteriously unless you hit the thing just right it registered that you'd voted for Bush. There were serious problems with those machines when they were being tested a couple weeks before the election, and again (mysteriously) this was not widely reported. Not to mention the statistical anomalies in the counties still using the optical scan ballots.

There was one precinct in Ohio with 680 or so registered voters that reported 4000 votes for Bush. The RNC was running voter registration drives all over the place, then tearing up the registration cards of anyone registering Democratic. By the time this was discovered it was too late for those people to register to vote in the election. This is just the stuff I've run across.

Then again, is any of this surprising from the guy who ran a 6 month misinformation campaign so he could justify going into Iraq to finish what Daddy started? Hardly.

We are currently the laughingstock of the world for re-electing this guy...just look at the international media.
