Eyes tell voters not to believe ears on counts

Didn't they switch to paperless ballots and vote on touch screen? The paperless system bothers me immensely.

No paper trail... What do you recount? Electrons?

did I miss the Republican party yelling foul over this? Did I miss them demanding, pointing fingers, and bulling the Democrats into passing effective legislation to insure it doesn't happen again?

The Republicans have wanted to do their anti-fraud legislating with the very minimum of publicity.

So why haven't they? Because they whimp out on any confrontation with Democrats.

And that is simply because journalism is defacto part--indeed the linchpin--of the Democratic Party. You tell me--Republicans ask for a system in which voting is as easy as presenting a credit card at the checkout counter, and the Democrats counter that the Republicans want to reinstate the poll tax. Logically it makes no sense, but the people who decide elections--Democrats who decide to turn out or not, others who can decide to vote R or D--can actually be moved by claims as stupid as that.

And THAT is why "Republicans wimp out."

I find it incomprehensible that problems like this can occur.

It is incomprehensible, I wonder if this CRIME is even going to be investigated.

Make no mistake about it, democratic elections officials in Florida are rigging elections, and there is now proof.

Look fo McAuliffe to get a free pass from the national media when he gets to Florida tomorrow to stick a knife in the back of Reno and her voters.
