BULLCRAP!!!!!! Florida voters couldn't mark a ballot correctly, all Leftie voters. Have you ever heard of a conservative voter unable to read a ballot. Maybe that dumbing down program the Democrats introduced in to the school system is working against the left.
Voter Apathy has always been a Republican strategy! Reagan Official overheard talking to Gov Christy Whitman about, REPRESSING, the Black ministers & the Black turnout! He & Whitman were all over the airways down playing, making explanations! (I knew exactly what they were talking about! MUD SLINGING, DIRTY POLITICS! The more people get (TURNED OFF) to the vote, the better the Republican Chances!
I live in and grew up in West Virginia. While I don't doubt one bit that the machines were messed up (they were here in Harrison County, too). I doubt there was any sort of Republican intervention. WV is a DEEPLY blue state internally. I would venture to say that 70% of our state legislature are Democrats, and the numbers are usually even higher at the county level. While the Democratic party in WV is more conservative than the party as a whole, they still strongly support the national party.
@theRekcabofD I must respectfully, disagree... In my opinion, any person that needs to be coerced into voting should not be voting in the first place.
The problem in our country is not that not enough people are voting, but rather that too many ignorant fools are casting ballots purely out of emotion (on both sides). The very thing our founders feared most has came true!
The man complaining in Jackson County was 88 years old and BLIND!!!!!!! He insisted on voting by himself with no help and his daughter checked the screen before he left. His vote was not cast and WS changed before he hit the cast ballot button.
You forgot the "Rest of the story" in your well contrived rant. And remember....WV is over 70% democrat and has been fully controlled by Democrats for 49 years straight.
Am from WV and I tried to vote and this is a true story. The woman told me I couldn't vote then try to call the cops on me, after I started to call the court house to see why I couldn't. Cause the woman refused to answer my question, after all this it took six hours befor I could vote with the help from the cops.
Thats what i thought but in one episode, he was saying how Bush won cus they fixed the votes, so I assumed he musted be democrat. But now that your telling me, he does seam Republican. Thx for the update.
ok the paper is printed RIGHT BESIDE THE SCREEN.. but you havn't saw the machines.. you a lib douchebag.. and i love the obama gave out info on people in the secret service.. ON THE TODAY SHOW!!!
what you dont remember in Pa that a lot of the machins had 2000 votes for kery allready on them BEFORE anyone got a chance to vote. and on the touchscreens, you have to validate your picks at the end, if you cant read, dont vote. this election was fixed for obama anyways, i hope you all like to say hi to the russians/iranians/north koreans when they invade our country and take over now.
I saw a CNN report on this (few minutes long). They put Obama second, under McCain, and the names of the candidates on TOP of the click area. End result is people click on the name, and end up lighting up McCain instead of Obama. This is a bad design. The names should be in the middle of the button, and there is enough room on the click area to roll upward.
I'm used to be a Conservative "back in the day", so I take great pleasure in telling you right wing rethugs who commenting here wanting to make two countries-
"LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT".
You read it right, either get on board or jump ship, LOSERS.
Sarah Palin's hubby wanted Alaska to break away, so I say go for it. Go live the rest of your ignorant life in an igloo. Except don't come crawling back when Russia overruns Alaska, you bunch of silly whiners!
It's not the Republicans never accidentally press the wrong button, or have glitchy touch-screen machines. It's just that when they do, they don't start screaming about fraud and disenfranchisement. They just push the correct button and move on.
more votes will be purged this yr than 2004 and mccane will overcome an overwhelming deficit and win. Many will be mad and riot. then northcom will get involved.
actually i can't stop washing this video! funny the way simpson says "i wanna vote FOR OBAMAAAAA!! oh! oh! IT'S TIME FOR CHANGEEEEE!!! HAHAHHAHA!! SO FUNNY!! the country sent a man on the moon, can even provide a fair voting machines! and they worrying about NATIONAL SECURITY!!
I voted for a republican senator in Illinois and it registered for the democrat. I also voted NO to retain all of the various judges and on half of my No votes, it came up yes. I was able to change my votes to the correct choices after reviewing my picks. It seems to happen to all political persuasions.
If that happens to you, go on record about it. Contact local media and local officials, maybe organize with fellow citizens. Even if you are able to finally vote the way you want, you shouldn't have to accept buggy voting machinery.
I'll add that Obama is still far better than McCain but he is not going to be the real change people expect.
The election outcome is being decided by big media. I don't blame them, I blame peoples political aphaty.
Far too many people participate in uninformed band-wagon jumping and blackballing in america's fiasco of identity politics - that I personally attribute to short attention spans and/or selective ignorance.
Fact check... if you enter voter fraud in the search engine for google, youtube, etc, 99% of the search turns up ACORN, which has nothing to do with actual voting, and very little on this issue of voting machine switching votes. Please look up the documentary Stealing America: Vote by Vote, by Dorothy Fadiman. We need some massive uproar about democracy being threatened not by ACORN, not at all, but the RNC.
If the problem is called an error by the voter, then that means the machine is not voter-friendly enough, so it is actually a problem of the designers of the computer program. In other words, there is no such thing as a voter-operator error that occurs more than once that is not an error of the computer designers.
The biggest voter fraud of all is the privately run debates run by 2 lobbyists, one a republican and the other a democrat! that refuse to allow legitimate candidates to be heard, stating that the aren't a factor, but than when they lose they blame them... you can't have it both ways! If America is ever going to change we have to have real choices, not a SINGLE PARTY SYSTEM with two heads! In case you didn't know they used to be called the democratic-republican party before they split !
Im worried it will be 51 to 49 with Mccain winning in another stolen election. Besides using the justice department to purge thousands of voters the voting machine manufacturers are run by GOP loyalist. Lets hope this Simpsons nightmare does not come to pass. Vote early!
do you really think that the democrats and the republicans are going to anything to turn this country around? I can say with 100% certainty that they are both awful choices, and neither will change the fact that we are in an illegal occupation of another county so big oil companies can make record profits! that we are the LAGEST MILITARY BASED ECONOMY IN THE WORLD!, neither will remove cooperations from the white house, neither will give us universal health care! Neither will let us debate.
I don't want to be paranoid, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is all part of a conspiracy, and that McCain will somehow win by a landslide vote. Now, if McCain wins, and suspicions turn towards a rigged election via "faulty" computerized voting machine, I will forever loose my trust in this country. Countries like Canada, Austraila, and Puerto Rico all have traditional paper ballots and everything is fine. You go high tech and people have an open chance to screw you over, including elections.
I don't get it. I'm not going to say who anyone should vote for, you need to vote for who you think is qualified to administrate your government. But I'm up in Canada, and we just had our elections a week ago. We have a paper ballot, and everything is counted by hand. All you need is a piece of mail with your name and address on it and you can vote. Simple.
Your right, and thats why I'm trying adamantly to immigrate to another country were intelligent people live, because they are hard to come by here in the nation with the largest military based economy in the world.. it's funny people always wonder why the U.S. has such high murder and crime rates, but what type of people would think would live in the LARGEST MILITARY BASED ECONOMY IN THE WORLD? Unintelligent, arrogant, brainwashed fascists, content to be ruled by a cooperate run government!
this is really depressing because this is one of many things already going wrong. mccain supporters getting voters to vote absentee in florida, voter purging in colorado and michigan, threatening calls to democratic voters in new mexico, and ohio AGAIN scheduled to give less voting machines to poorer districts. i HOPE against hope that obama just doesnt roll over like kerry did.
I think elections are the one exception when it comes to preferring paper over Machine. You want priority accuracy, not efficiency. That said, the company that makes these voting machines is totally in the pockets of the republicans. Either give each vote a transaction id and receipt or have the machines audited before elections.
If you want accuracy, then the voting must be electronic. Hand counting is FAR more prone to error. But the electronic system must be done well. The idea that any current systems favor Republicans is just partisan fantasy.
You lost me on the 'calculytic' argument. Explain. Either way, the time it takes to hand count paper ballots has a logarithmic relationship to the number of ballots cast. This isn't really in dispute. Whether it's 30M, 300M, or 3B, time becomes pretty much irrelevant.
The reason you had problems in '00 was because you had what amounted to a computer based system. I'm saying take computers out of the equation entirely. Here in Canada we draw an X next to the name. You can't fuck that up.
OMG! I'm British & I can't believe after the last presidential voting fiasco (Florida!), that Americans will allow a machine to screw them again!...This is really disturbing and MUST be corrected IMMEDIATELY!!
DON'T ALLOW THE (RIGGRD) MACHINES TO SCREW YOU AGAIN!!!
DEMAND APAPER VOTE OR...PULL OUT THE FUCKING PLUG!!
you're in england so you may not remember, the last fiasco was in ohio & they swept under the rug. florida was an issue in '00. incidentally, the problem was with those very same paper ballots for which you & some others clamor.
i need to look at my registration card see the contingency plan. i dunno if that's very legal & who knows, i could be accused of ballot tampering & that's a federal offense. either way, i still think paper ballots are impractical & i have no problem with there being a virtual ballot
You're not understanding what a paper ballot is. The whole point of a paper ballot is to exclude computers. Punch cards are not paper ballots. They are simply rudimentary computer data entry devices from 30 years ago.
republicans are such LIARS and DISHONEST BIGOTS. America NEEDS to be divided in two, It's time Democrats get independence from Republican America. NO DEMOCRAT IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANTS TO LIVE WITH REPUBLICANS.
don't do the wing nut thing. robert byrd, the senate leader was in the KKK when he was 24. there are democrats that were once republicans & vice versa. lieberman didn't switch parties & magically become a racist. also, don't forget that the modern democratic party predates the republican party by almost 30yrs. i don't care for republican politics but my 2 best friends are republicans & decent human beings to boot. try to be analytical instead of so polarized
Divide the U.S into republican and democratic and make them two different countries.
You thought multiculturalism was bad? The key lies in who the hell is running the country. Republican views are completely against Democratic views, they have no place making up the same country. Look at the NONSENSE that comes of it.
If KKK man was once democrat and changed to republican he should have no problem taking the train and crossing the border into Republicland.
dude, every democrat is not totally against every republican on every issue. don't be silly. either way, you're talking about dividing our country. that's IDIOTIC. i said liebermann & byrd in 2 completely different contexts. reread it if you didn't get it. multiculturalism is what makes this country great. you're talking about a homogenizing a whole group then isolating them. in a plural society, that'll never work. use your brain my friend
This isn't about what issues republicans are against or who shares the same view as a democrat and republican. This is about what it MEANS to be a democrat or republican, the rest is SECONDARY.
I think it's time to DIVIDE THE COUNTRY. Republican and Democratic policy DOES NOT MIX.
dude, that's insane. a country divided against itself will not stand. also, it'd be rather bland. either way, you're assuming that everyone is on a polar end of every spectrum & that's just not the case. do you think obama wants yesmen? or do you think he wants people with independent thought, originals idea & the courage to give reproach when he's wrong? a amsrt man wants the latter. what you're suggesting is not only impractical, it's dangerous & foolish
I agree. I hate living alongside the ignorance and hate-mongering of the left. Like the founding Republican said, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice will not sleep forever." If the Civil War was in some sense our punishment for slavery, what will be our punishment for abortion and infanticide? Let's make it two countries.
Exactly, you hate living next to dems and dems hate living next to republicans. Let's stop singing Kumbaya and pretending we like each other. SPLIT THE U.S!
What about the infanticide of Palestinian children by the Israeli terrorist scumbags with US weapons and chemicals and with the blessing of the USA?
Or are you talking about the infanticide/mass murder by the USA in Iraq, right? Or Vietnam, Laos, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Is your God going to punish you for all that, too?
I wish he would, but he won't because he doesn't exist.
Fucking hypocrite idiot, I wish you would divide into 2 countries.
I'm not from the states but am as concearned as anyone how these elections will turn out. I hate the fact that the result will effect so many other countries and lives and all we can do is watch and hope for the best. Go and vote, you slackers and think ahead! Your country really has too much influence for its own good, so don't fuck up the decision!
That's the one thing I like about Canada's voting system: every ballot coast to coast is done with pencil and paper and counted by hand. No electronic errors and no hanging chad.
I hate guns, but this is WHY the founding fathers wrote the 2nd amendment. The RNC, Bush, Cheney, McCain, Palin, Rove, Rumsfeld, etc need to go to jail for attempting to destroy democracy in the US, the Constitution and crimes against humanity. The FBI or the Police won't do it so YOU NEED TO DO IT YOURSELF! Then again, the peaceful way is RIGHT NOW, EVERYONE that has had their vote stolen (or suspects it) must FILE A LAW SUIT. NOW! TODAY!!
I told everyone that I know that will be voting on Nov.4 to use paper, not touch screens. It may be easy for some people whom are voting and the operators that will help determine the results, but as a person that has been working with computers for 13 years, it is still not safe to use to help determine whom will be the next elected official. The touch-screen voting booth are one the today's technology that WE DO NOT NEED YET. Maybe in the 2010 mid-term, 2012, or even 2016 election... NOT NOW.
Wasn't aware that any action has been taken in Florida. If so, good on you! Hard to imagine with Jeb overseeing . . .
Obama, with a democratic congress could do something about. If that is indeed the outcome, I for one, will start petitioning my representatives. If Diebold wins, uh I mean McCain, then there's no point.
There is an HBO documentary movie on this called Hacking Democracy, I highly recommend watching it. It talks about this and how it happens and how can easily be done.
Bush IT Expert Michael Connell might have some interesting information . . . not that he'll willingly talk.
And then there's the unexplained exit poll discrepancy of 2004. Statistical impossibility is . . . well, impossible. Yet, Americans are willing to let it slide.
I always thought that technology makes life better as a kid. I guess I was wrong. My dad is right, paper and pen ballot is the best way to do it. I already sent in my (paper) absentee ballot, and I did NOT vote for McCain, so I hope they get my vote right.
REPUBLICANS STOLE it before, they can STEAL it again. Or they will just ASSASSINATE OBAMA, and BUSH will DECLARE MARTIAL LAW, BLAME the MUSLIMS, and CANCEL the ELECTION.
So true and accurate. This is how they put bush in without winning. We need paper ballots that are verifiable and the end of the Electoral College. We would just count the votes, and the one with the most wins. Simple.
The Simpsons nailed it clearly. bush should never have gotten in at all. If mcCain gets in, we'll all know the election was fixed for sure. His poll numbers are an accurate reflection of the sentiments toward he and palin. mcpalin couldn't be less suited for high office.
guys that's it OBAMA IS DONE!! he's gonna loose this election. the news about the electrinic machines, i got the last 48 hrs not a good sign for the dems.
HOW CAN SOME DAMN GOP CAN BE LEFT ALONE BESIDE ANYTHING LOOKS LIKE A VOTING MACHINE ANYWAY!! YOU GOTTA KIDDING ME
I heard that people have to line up for an hour sometimes just to vote. Is this true?
We just had a federal election here in Canada. The amount of time it took me to leave the apartment, vote, and get back home was less than 30 minutes. Never a voting machine just a paper ballot and a cardboard barrier.
Maybe it's because both candidates are the same. Both are CFR globalists. Both want amnesty for illegals. Both support the income tax. Both support big government. One is white and one is a mulatto, but only lazy coloreds care about that aspect.
"lazy coloreds". what the hell does that mean? if you mean the people that built this country for free & sparked the agricultural revolution; the same people that rebuilt it by spiking the industrial revolution with their ingenuity, inventions (all of which, still have the original patents on public record) & labor, then i understand you. if you mean the people that change colors depending on mood or physical condition, then i understand. otherwise, i don't understand who the "lazy coloreds" are
I live in Nevada, and planning to go vote soon, possibly today. If I press the Obama button and McCain's lights up, I will halt my voting right then and there and call for officials, and I wont be quiet when I do either.
I don't want to defend electronic voting, or McCain for that matter. But, flahing up the other guys name has to be one of the dumbest ways to rig a voting machine.
Nononono. Listen Listen Listen, this vote has been sold off to the highest bidder a long time ago. They will use key counties in battleground states to rigg the vote in their favour. McCain takes enough battle ground states and BOOM, he's in the white house. Don't think it won't happen! Today Obama leads by 7 points, that will mean diddlytwat come election day. It is in the interest of corporate america and wallstreet to elect McCain, and they have already elected him.
"It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." Joesph Stalin
Here in Canada, we have this thing called a "paper balot". It's really cool. No confusion. Easily counted, and re-counted. If you have a long line, just open up another booth. You Yanks have been duped.
canada has 31M people (most of which are populated near canada's southern border), 23M are registered voters. the US has 305M, 142M are registered voters (that number is growing too). do the math, do you really think paper ballots are practical here? for that matter do you remember what happened with paper ballots in '00? if not, google the term "hanging chad". ironically we get most of our trees for new paper from canada. but do the math, do you really think

Obama lied on his pullout plan of Iraq. Bush's plan for pullout of Iraq is ONE less month than Obama's current plan.
I'm referring to what Bush's original plan was for Iraq....no kidding he isn't president anymore....geez.

I voted for a republican senator in Illinois and it registered for the democrat. I also voted NO to retain all of the various judges and on half of my No votes, it came up yes. I was able to change my votes to the correct choices after reviewing my picks. It seems to happen to all political persuasions.

If that happens to you, go on record about it. Contact local media and local officials, maybe organize with fellow citizens. Even if you are able to finally vote the way you want, you shouldn't have to accept buggy voting machinery.

Agree 100% with nickothompson !
I'll add that Obama is still far better than McCain but he is not going to be the real change people expect.
The election outcome is being decided by big media. I don't blame them, I blame peoples political aphaty.
Far too many people participate in uninformed band-wagon jumping and blackballing in america's fiasco of identity politics - that I personally attribute to short attention spans and/or selective ignorance.

Fact check... if you enter voter fraud in the search engine for google, youtube, etc, 99% of the search turns up ACORN, which has nothing to do with actual voting, and very little on this issue of voting machine switching votes. Please look up the documentary Stealing America: Vote by Vote, by Dorothy Fadiman. We need some massive uproar about democracy being threatened not by ACORN, not at all, but the RNC.

If the problem is called an error by the voter, then that means the machine is not voter-friendly enough, so it is actually a problem of the designers of the computer program. In other words, there is no such thing as a voter-operator error that occurs more than once that is not an error of the computer designers.
DonkeyofHeaven 3 years ago 2
The biggest voter fraud of all is the privately run debates run by 2 lobbyists, one a republican and the other a democrat! that refuse to allow legitimate candidates to be heard, stating that the aren't a factor, but than when they lose they blame them... you can't have it both ways! If America is ever going to change we have to have real choices, not a SINGLE PARTY SYSTEM with two heads! In case you didn't know they used to be called the democratic-republican party before they split !

Neither will let us debate.

I don't want to be paranoid, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is all part of a conspiracy, and that McCain will somehow win by a landslide vote. Now, if McCain wins, and suspicions turn towards a rigged election via "faulty" computerized voting machine, I will forever loose my trust in this country. Countries like Canada, Austraila, and Puerto Rico all have traditional paper ballots and everything is fine. You go high tech and people have an open chance to screw you over, including elections.

I don't get it. I'm not going to say who anyone should vote for, you need to vote for who you think is qualified to administrate your government.

All you need is a piece of mail with your name and address on it and you can vote. Simple.

I think elections are the one exception when it comes to preferring paper over Machine. You want priority accuracy, not efficiency. That said, the company that makes these voting machines is totally in the pockets of the republicans. Either give each vote a transaction id and receipt or have the machines audited before elections.
DeathscytheVII 3 years ago
If you want accuracy, then the voting must be electronic. Hand counting is FAR more prone to error. But the electronic system must be done well. The idea that any current systems favor Republicans is just partisan fantasy.
erikmartin2 3 years ago
You lost me on the 'calculytic' argument. Explain. Either way, the time it takes to hand count paper ballots has a logarithmic relationship to the number of ballots cast. This isn't really in dispute. Whether it's 30M, 300M, or 3B, time becomes pretty much irrelevant.
The reason you had problems in '00 was because you had what amounted to a computer based system. I'm saying take computers out of the equation entirely. Here in Canada we draw an X next to the name. You can't fuck that up.

Divide the U.S into republican and democratic and make them two different countries.
You thought multiculturalism was bad? The key lies in who the hell is running the country. Republican views are completely against Democratic views, they have no place making up the same country. Look at the NONSENSE that comes of it.

This isn't about what issues republicans are against or who shares the same view as a democrat and republican. This is about what it MEANS to be a democrat or republican, the rest is SECONDARY.
