Wait a minute here! The Reps have been in control and have had FOUR YEARS to fix this crap. Jeb Bush had PLENTY of time to fix it in Florida and Bush had plenty of time to fix it nationwide, if that had been their goal. Apparently, it was a low priority for them. I'm starting to wonder why.
Precinct voting exists because it parcels out the work amoung many sites. It simply moves faster, and the precinct workers tend to remember you from one election to the next.
How many of these college students were planning to vote twice?
58,000 MISSING ABSENTEE BALLOTS.
58,000 could easily sway the entire election.
The Post Office lost them? No way. This needs to be investigated immediately.
Good answer!
Hmmmm....sounds like somebody in bulkmail may have a couple of slippery fingers. And yes, it is very easy to do. For a party who prefers to give the people liars and cheaters as candidates, how can we NOT expect them to lie and cheat?
I sure as hell hope that the same hasn't happened here in Brevard County, where I sent in my absentee ballot. This has me scared as well.
Broward is not a Republican Stronghold. 2:1 Democrats. Almost all elected officials are Democrats - The current Supervisor of Elections is Brenda Snipes, a well respected black politician, a Democrat, who was appointed by Jeb Bush when Miriam Oliphant was removed because for incompetence. Local Republicans screamed for a Republican appointee, but Jeb understood the implications and appointed Snipes. The Democrats are responsible for this mess - BTW Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties are overwhelmingly Democratic.
Yes, and they're going to vote them too.

It is a seven hour drive for students from Tallahassee to Broward County. Dubya wrote a letter to the postmaster general advising him that the rumors of postal workers deliberately withholding ballots had reached the White House.
It is a big deal.
I was feeling so good last week. I thought the president had momentum, the polls were trending in his favor. And I thought after the fiasco of 2000 Karl Rrove and the gang would be on top of the democrats dirty tricks.
Well today I'm not feeling so good. We've got a ballot fiasco in Ohio, another one in Florida. We've got the latest NY Times hit piece. Most of the polls have the race deadlocked which means they're trending for Kerry. With 25% of the ballots cast in New Mexico Kerry is leading. Doing well in 'key' sates.
I though our side was all fired up to vote, I've been hearing that our get out the vote was better than the democrats. Well, apparantly I was wrong. And I'm very upset with the President and his team for this mess. He's running against a George McGovern clone, a Neville Chamberlain clone. This race shouldn't be close. Voter fraud shouldn't even be an issue. But it will be. Jim
They'd be stepping on the Constitution to do that. It's entirely up to the States' legislatures to determine the times, places, and manner of these federal elections, as long as they apply equally to all eligible voters. If not equal, then the courts step in.
GW is the president of the United States and John Ashcroft the Attorney General
If they dont stop the rats...nobody will....
If they do stop the dems they will squeal non stop...the media will declare Pres Bush the moral equivilant of a 3rd world dictator..
Personally I hope GW stops this whole mess and simply remains president until it is cleaned up
Once the rats get back in power they will burn any bridges necessary for them to stay in power..
The republic will be lost this time...and the cure will most likely kill the patient...
GW will have to act boldly in order to save us..
It will be the guttsiest move by any US President
We will all have to stand behind him 100% on this if it happens..
And trust him to give us back our freedom when the criminals are all behind bars
IMO
Jim don't worry. I promise you that you are not seeing a lot of stuff that Bush and company are doing behind the scenes on the voter fraud issue. On the ground, the Republicans have an unbelievable organization. For example, in Ohio the Republicans have an organization all the way down to the precinct level. The Dems only have the unions and the 527 groups that have a whole disconnect. You are not seeing a lot of things that the media does not want to let you know. That is why the Dems and MSM are in an utter panic to destroy Bush because they know they will probably lose. Cheer up and have faith.
Geeze, it was an honest mistake??......./sarcasm.
I'm trying to stay positive. But when the President, who i believe is a great man, sits there and takes it on the chin from the NY Times and Kerry, I'm starting to lose faith that he's got the will to win. He needs to call Kerry out and say to him stop acting like a politican and start acting like an american. jim
