Just heard on the radio some polling places are missing machinese and some just aren't working.
One precinct in St. Tammany is stuck using provisional ballots because of some undisclosed error.
Louisiana lives down to it's expectations again.
"missing machinese"
This is series! Are the beebers OK?
Yeah but what about the cemetary vote? Vitter cant win that group.
Ahhhh. The liberal bastion of N.O. shafts the miserable State of Lousyana yet again.
Thank God I escaped that armpit of the Nation.
Where is a Cat 5 hurricane when your really need one?
As usual.... Just be thanksful that the national democrats aren't as good at this as they are here. Then we would really be in trouble.
Forgive me for this totally UNAMERICAN comment!
When we repeatedly see the miserably botched job
of running elections in certain areas across this
nation, how lamentable the loss of RESTRICTIONS
our Founding Fathers placed on WHO should be
eligible to vote.
Well...at least WHO should be in charge of the
polling sites! A bottom limit to IQ and common sense
isn't much to ask.
OK... come on now, I happen to live in La., not in NO... NO is made up of different breed of people, it isn't like this everywhere else!
I live here and I have never heard of voting machine problems until this year. Strange.
Because previous political heads were smoother. The days of Moon and Dutch are over. Hell, my granddad used to help get the union vote out for the Dems (not all kosher I'm sure) and he's been long buried. They just aren't as many smooth Democrats anymore.
Nothing unamerican about it, nothing to forgive.
I live here and NO is an election sewer. Dead people, triple voters, bribery, fixed machines.
I'm from Houma, La. and had no problems this morning when I voted. N'Awlins most always has voting problems yet the more rural areas of the state such as where I live, go off without a hitch. Of course the rural areas are more Republican. Go figure...
I am not concerned about Bush in LA. I want Vitter to get 50%. I think this may be a perfect storm that will allow us our first Republican Senator since Reconstruction.
I lived the 1st 25 years of my life in Baton Rouge. My parents, 2 of my 3 brothers, and 2 of my 3 sisters live there still.
I know all I need to know about the sorry-azz state of Lousyana, thank you very much.
The people are mo friendly, and the food is mo better, than ANYWHERE else, IMHO; but the rest of the place is a pit.
FWIW I voted at my precinct at Xavier Prep and they were scrupulously cheking IDs and the registration lists. A hippy chick ahead of me, was obviously trying to vote without having registered and was declined. OTOH, most of those in line looked like they were kedwards voters. That said, I do not think New Orleans is going to be that huge a margin for KE. Rememer, we *did* elect Nagin and W did a visit to the black churches a while back. If that vote is fractured then we are doing ok.
"Armpit"? I was born and raised there. Like you, I escaped. I've often compared it to a body part like that. Although I've used a different one for the analogy...:-)

I agree w/ you, but this is a "family-friendly" website. :)
easy now.... we're all on the same side here! 'W 2004'
just give me a break...where is the magic to running an election. we line up, we give our names, they check us off and give us a card, we then vote....
how is this so complex for these yokels?
it is only because the yokels want it to be complex so they can cheat.
