Electronic voting angst
MSNBC ^ | 11/9/04 | Keith Olberman

Posted on 11/09/2004 8:33:46 AM PST by ArizonaVoter

NEW YORK — Bev Harris, the Blackbox lady, was apparently quoted in a number of venues during the day Monday as having written “I was tipped off by a person very high up in TV that the news has been locked down tight, and there will be no TV coverage of the real problems with voting on Nov. 2… My source said they’ve also been forbidden to talk about it even on their own time.”

I didn’t get the memo.

We were able to put together a reasonably solid 15 minutes or so on the voting irregularities in Florida and Ohio on Monday’s Countdown. There was some You-Are-There insight from the Cincinnati Enquirer reporter who had personally encountered the ‘lockdown’ during the vote count in Warren County, Ohio, a week ago, and a good deal of fairly contained comment from Representative John Conyers of Michigan, who now leads a small but growing group of Democratic congressmen who’ve written the General Accountability Office demanding an investigation of what we should gently call the Electronic Voting Angst. Conyers insisted he wasn’t trying to re-cast the election, but seemed mystified that in the 21st Century we could have advanced to a technological state in which voting— fine, flawed, or felonious— should leave no paper trail.

The DUmmies really believe now that something will be done about this and an "unconcession" is possible.

My...how funny and great it is that we get to watch them "lose" again.

Again, the basic and fundamental argument is "bush gained votes, has to be fraud".

Classic.

I guess I shouldn't bother mentioning that all but four Ohio counties were still on punch-card ballots this election. I'd hate to let an inconvenient fact get in the way of their conspiracy theories.

this idiot.....he can only get on TV with people like MSNBC who, by the way, have fired him once also.....he is a FOOL, a MORON, and a big fat LIAR...
what a loser .. I think its a toss up between who is worse, him or that panty wearing Ron Reagan...he is despicable tho to me, maybe the worse of the worst because he is so freakin dumb.. its clear he only has a job because his Mama is paying MSNBC to let him be there....a REAL media would LAUGH at his dumbazzz comments .. but then again the Lefties love him spewing his silly uneducated speeches because hes "Reagans" boy... what a freakin waste of air for him and itsOVERman too.....

MSNBC:

Last in war, last in peace, last in the Nielson ratings.

A corollary to this would be: "Dead last in finding on-air talent."
