Pathetic. Got those Dim talking points down pat.
Isn't there something really wrong (vote suppressive) about a lack of machines at a precinct that resulted in 8 to 9 hour waits. Could it be that the reason was to cut down the votes at a likely Kerry precinct because many left in disgust?
And how about all those precincts that reported substantially more votes that registrants?
A recount is needed (though it cannot possibly uncover all the problems) and Mr Blackwell must recuse himself from that recount. Apparently only the Libertarians and Greens are interested enough to ask for and pay for that recount to protect the integrity of the system. As things stand I have no idea who won in several key states and I know that Bush has no mandate. In fact he should be ashamed to claim victory, considering how the election ran.
Pathetic. Got those Dim talking points down pat.
You must be kidding. over 3.5 million votes more for the President and you don't think it is a mandate????
Take a look at Ohio turnout - 62%
Compared to New York 43% and MA 46%
you are an idiot
I live in central OH and I waited about 2 1/2 hours to vote. I don't know of anyone who waited 8-9 hours. Most people I talked to waited less than an hour, some waited only a few minutes.
There was that one incident where a machine tallied a thousand or so extra votes for Bush. But the error was discovered and the total reported corrected right away. The final tally accounted for the correction. I'm wondering if the same could be said of a 'Rat state where the tally included extra votes for the 'Rat candidate? We all know of the shenanigans the Gore people pulled in 2000, like a few extra ballot boxes showing up in the trunk of a car in New Mexico, with almost all of the ballots marked for Gore, so he "just happened" to win the state by a few hundred votes.
The election workers were incredibly polite and helpful. I saw them assist elderly people in line, helping others who had kids in tow move up the line a little quicker, allowing a lady who needed oxygen bottles to move to the front of the line. No one complained or expressed any discouragement or outrage. I know I didn't.
You might wonder why. Speaking for myself (but likely a common sentiment), I wanted to be there, and I wanted to exercise my right to vote, because I know it is important. Sure, standing in line a long time is inconvenient. I'd rather have done it quicker. But better to wait and do it than not do it at all.
It wasn't precincts that reported more votes than registrants. It was counties. And that can (and has been) easily explained. Many local and statewide offices have voting areas which cross county lines. It's not a difficult concept.
Source Mike, do you have a source?? One other than the deep recesses of a crack addled brain
As one who was a Republican poll challenger/observer in a heavily Democratic ward in Akron, I can say with some degree of empirical support that your head is so far up your chute that you must taste Brylcreme when you belch.
How does someone know what a "kerry precinct" is? Just because someone lives in a mostly democratic area doesn't mean they are absolutely going to vote for a democrat. Especially when kerry is the candidate. I knew of many people who voted moral values and not just lock step with the dems.
And as far as not knowing who won Ohio...Bush won of course. By over 135,000 votes. There was no disenfranchisement when they let people vote at 3 a.m. People in Afghanistan walked for days to vote dang it! They were threatened and shot at...GET A LIFE...
Until you give specifics with decent sources to back it up, I assume you are a sore loser who is full of crap.
PIFFLE
Another bitter libertarian showing us why the libertarians will never go anywhere.
You're a complete idiot and a moron and know nothing about how our voting went here in Ohio if your post was anything but sarcasm.
We have had absolutely NOTHING like what Florida had in 2000 and nobody was denied their right to vote.
There's a reason that Moore skulked out of Ohio on Nov. 2nd right after the polls closed. He could find NOTHING wrong.
That is a load of CR*P!!
I am a county committee man so I know more about this than YOU.
Each precinct has so many voting machines,no more and no less.A day before the election a representative of each party get together and examine each machine and run a test vote to make sure they work properly.They are then zeroed out and sent out to the precincts.
As far as long lines,RECORD voter turnout.The Republican party made sure everyone realized just what was at stake in this election and they got out and voted!
You guys LOST,get over it!!!
As far as your tag line? Only GOD grants us Freedom of choice.It's elitists like you who try to "Grant" what freedoms you deem we deserve!
It had nothing to do with a lack of voting machines. The precinct that had those waits was a college area, where a huge number of people showing up weren't registered (color me surprised) -- the process for checking them in for provisional ballots takes much longer than for someone who actually bothered to register.
Oh how nice, we have a Losertarian troll. A much rarer species than the garden variety DU or Daily KOS troll but none the less still quite trollish in its behavior. The only remedy for this is a ZOT or at the very least a high yield nuclear detonation.
Screw you, Impeachment-era troll!
