You know what's perhaps the funniest thing about all this? The fact that the change in 2002 of voting machines to the "electronic versions" was all due to the hem and haw of the 2000 debacle! In other words, it's because of the same charges of "racism" and "disinfranchisement" that we now hear about Ohio in 2004, that we changed in 2002! Oh but now they say, "We need a paper trail! We need a paper trail"!
HELLO? Didn't we have a "paper trail" in Florida in 2000? Did THAT "paper trail" work well? LOL
I'm left with only one question: Why don't these people just admit that their only REAL intention is to simply deny anyone but a hard-left liberal the right to vote? Get it over with. Get the truth out in the open. You'll feel better, Bev Harris et al.
All you had to mention was this nut Fitrakis. He's a loon.
Bill Maher has been repeating his tired bit about Diebold and Republican ties. He actually implies that the machines are corrupt because of the owner's outspoken Republican ties. Maher has even taken his worn-out "humor" on the road and basically repeats the same lies.
The reason the DemonRats want a "paper trail" is so they can cound and recount, a la Washington state, until they've stolen an election. Fraudulemnt recounts like that aren't possible with electronic touch screen voting. All that can be done is what ought to be done--assure that the machines are working properly.
It's almost March and I can't believe these people are still fixated on the election! Talk about being pathologically obsessed. They need to get a hobby or something.
