This actually gives me hope.

I fell better now that my electronic vote, with no paper trail, is actually being counted. Why else would they have been trying to sway individual votes? (/sarcasm :-)

BTW, I observed for a couple hours yesterday. The average for 7 voting machines was 127 voters in one hour. That's a rate of 18 voters/machine/hour or 3.3 minutes per voter. This also means the maximum number of voters, for a precinct with 7 machines, on election day will be 1651.

My precinct has 3052 registered voters. This truly smells like chaos.

Oh, that is sooooo not legal.....so not legal

Will these people ever be accused by the MSM of trying to steal the election? It's the media's silence on this outrage that makes it viable.

That would be the last time she pointed with that particular finger...

This is a relatively well educated area--UNC/Charlotte area. This fact leaves me to believe there is some real fraud going on. Heard the guy, mentioned in the piece, interviewed on the radio this AM--he d/n sound like someone who would need help.

What should one do if this was to happen to them?

"But the issue now is very political. The state GOP sent a letter to Dickerson on Tuesday demanding that he retrain his staff."

LOL! Democrats will always lie, cheat and steal. It's not a "training" issue, it's a character issue. These people should not be poll workers at all. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Voter turnout has never exceeded 61 percent.

Something tells me stuff like this happens a lot.

Four years ago during Bush-Gore, the precinct that I voted in actually had the Washington Post's endorsement of Gore clipped from the newspaper and sitting in plain sight in front of the poll worker where everyone could see it, which is blatant electioneering and illegal.

I thought of raising a stink but decided it just wouldn't be worth the trouble here in Pinkoville.

Not that it makes any difference, but I have made a study of B/C -vs- K/E bumperstickers on I-40 this week.
The stretch between I-95 and Durham.
The count is in favor of B/C stickers at a ratio of over 20 to 1.
As I said above, it doesnt make any difference, but it sure is heartening!

Is it possible that there will be additional machines brought in for Tuesday? Depending on turnout, there may be no problem anyway.

[Salvation]

Get the dims out of there!

I'm taking my digital camera with me when I vote just in case.

I really doubt there will be any problem out West where I live. People are honest here (even if some of them are misguided).

Wow...I hadn't thought of that angle.
Our ballot was 8 pages and I know it took my wife a good 10 minutes[she had misvoted on some races.....I didn't think to time her] and I took about your average of 3 or so.
I think there will be more machines set up than at the early voting sites.
There were last time. The EV site had 7 but my precinct had 10 or so.
Still, with a long ballot, it will take time. I know that if you are in line when the polls close they will let you vote.
But overall, you are right...there's a storm brewing.
