if y'all spent as much time doing basic research as you do yucking it up on threads like this, you would realize: 1. that the author of this article (as well as that berry creature) are absolutely correct in their assertion that someone is systematically destroying ballots in minority precincts; 2. it is a very serious matter for conservatives and republicans alike; and, 3. it is no laughing matter.

and now ... the rest of the story:

all of the districts involved are heavily minority; viz., democrat machines. consequently, all elections therein are rigidly controlled by the organized crime family known as the democrats. including matters such as custody and possession of the ballots during elections.

what is happening during elections is that 'someone' is periodically 'spiking' ballots; viz., a bunch are neatly gathered up (tap-tap on the corners) and a metal rod driven down the kerry hole (in the case of the last election).

the result? all ballots previously marked for kerry are untouched (a vote for kerry), and all ballots previously marked for bush are now punched for bush AND kerry (a double punch, and, thus, no vote).

oh ... the beauty of it. you get to nullify votes for bush AND scream racism. (and, if i might be so bold, even actually flame some real racism in the process ["what a bunch of dumb n*********s; can't even punch a hole in a piece of paper].)

what a bonanza; the holy grail of democrat politics. they get it all.

i mentioned "basic research," supra. many articles have been written on the subject, and many posted here at freerepublic. they are all persuasive, if not dispositive.

the next time someone tells you that minorities are being systematically disenfranchised, don't argue with them. they are correct: conservative minorities by democrats.

instead, agree with that person, and try to come up with a solution to the problem. perhaps dispatching armed u.s. marshalls to guard the ballots during elections?

then watch the backpedalling. now that ... that would be fun.

funny that the minorities can't figure out who's destroying their ballots: the democrats with physical possession of them, or the republicans with their evil mind rays?

like living with a roommate and being clueless about who might've eaten the pizza you put in the refrigerator last night; "hmm ... must've been the evil republican next door broke into the apartment while i was taking a shower ... ."

ugh.

we're going to have to be a little smarter than this, folks. the enemy is smart. and evil. and does not sleep. and will never, ever give up.

in the last election, i heard george bush compared to hitler. never really could understand the connection they were trying to make. but one thing's for sure: when a party systematically destroys ballots and then blames the other side (after all, WHO ELSE would destroy minority votes?), to me comes to mind the reichstag (sp?) fire, poland's border incursions, etc.

A guy standing outside a polling place asking 1 of 20 people who they voted for is not how we choose our leaders.

Exactly
My wife and I had predetermined that if we were asked how we voted we would say Nader.

So, an ex-CBS hack skews the exit polls, purposefully.

Then, leftists claim that exit polls are more accurate then voting results. Apparently, based on the fact that the exit polls said Kerry won - because they were designed to do so.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

All Anyone Needs to Know about Greg Palast

"..Katherine Harris calls Greg Palast, 'twisted and maniacle.' But Michael Moore calls his reporting for BBC television 'courageous.' And Noam Chomsky says: Greg Palast "upsets all the right people.".."

Anybody who starts their "about" page like that sends a crystal clear signal "about" who he is.

I don't have time in my current situation to do a lot of "basic research."

I do, however, make time to "yuck it up." I reserve the right to "yuck it up."

But we know that last time, the total of Ohio votes discarded reached a democracy-damaging 1.96 percent. The machines produced their typical loss—that's 110,000 votes—overwhelmingly Democratic.

Spoilage has a very Democratic look in New Mexico.

I guess that means Democrats are too stupid to vote.

I find it amazing that the Dem's DO NOT recognize that they lost the election for supporting the EXTREME LEFT's agenda and are completely out of touch with "normal" Americans. You would think that after continually losing seats since 2000, someone in the Left had the "grey matter" upstairs to see that ::: If we continue, we're going to lose more seats in the future!!! Obviously, no one in the Dem party has that capacity. GO GOP !! More seats are a-comin !!

Palast is a known nut and Dem zealot. He purports to be an investigative reporter, but he has a partisan agenda.

Forget counting the actual ballots. Exit polls that have been manipulated by the dem machine are the way "democracy" works.

There's a story going around---rumor at this point---that the DNC knew where exit polls were taking place and contacted their voters to be at their polling place at certain times and to be sure to participate in the exit polling.

Before I heard that, I had heard that some exit polls were set up with voters self-selecting participation by approaching the pollster, not the pollster approaching them.

And now we've got yon genius informing us this is more "exact" (he is officially in the Twilight Zone. That or he's just evil) than counting ballots and assuming the outrageous position that there actually would be enough spoiled ballots to account for a Kerry loss. Ridiculous. Or as I said, he's evil and is deliberately stirring up the moonbats, as some have reported the DUmmies are swallowing this swill by the bucket.

Two other points: I marked "morality" as the most important issue, but I was thinking "integrity and honor", not "abortion" or anything "religious right" when I marked "morality".

That's what I've been thinking as I hear the twittering over "morality". I sure that people meant simple truth telling, just for starters.

Interesting to hear you were approached by the pollster. I have no doubt that's the usual way. I've heard stories that at some polling places where the exit pollster set up, they had their table and just let voters approach them.

you know,, it's sad,, not matter how SIMPLE we could make it for some people to vote, some will still get it messed up.
You know ? if we can devise a way,, were ? what ever method we use to make it FRAUD PROOF and ERROR PROOF ,, the DEMOCRATS will never win a election until they change their ways, convert to our values, and be honest.
