What?!? Any illegal with a driver's license can vote.
Ummm, weren't the idiot Dims all a-twitter with happiness about the electronic voting machines before they decided to make them the target of the latest conspiracy de'jour??
Yeah, it was really hard for me this year. Just like the preceding 36 years I voted.
Big elections and small, they were all really, really hard to vote in.
And it was America's fault. It's not my fault.
That should read, "Kerry called Bush per Hillary's orders...." There was no way she would have allowed a RAT to win this time.
``A great wailing and gnashing of teeth was heard from half the country,``
That is such BS. Only the far left kooks are the ones gnashing their teeth. The vast majority of Americans who voted for Kerry have accepted the results and have moved on. The left wing media thinks all Americans who voted for Kerry are in total dispare over the election. Someone needs to tell them that it is just them and their DU-like Koolaid drinkers who are still in a tizzy.
What kind of publication is Coastal Post? Seems like a free rag you get at Grocery Stores.
They don't vote because they don't care. It's not because somebody is making it "hard" for them.
Even their favorite cable anchor, Keith Olbermann, have started to pooh-pooh their conspiracy theories and theorists, such as the Gadsen matter and Beverly Harris.
I'm just wondering how far off their minds will go to believe that Senator Kerry actually won.
Sonoma State Univeristy?! There's a bastion of objectivity and intellectual honesty in higher learning. (/sarcasm)
Let me see, there was a story out of Afghanistan about an elderly lady who walked several miles to participate in the Afghan elections.
Again, Mr. Simac, please tell me how difficult it is to vote in the USA. While you are at it, would you be so kind as to inform me about the VRWC?
Ohio doesn't use Diebold machines.
There were 93,000 more votes than voters in Cayuhoga county alone in Ohio
It's bad enough this guy is so misinformed. But he's reduced to blaming Dem wrongdoings ... on the GOP.
Yep, me too.
I think it should be made harder to vote, not easier. There no challenge in just going to the polls and voting.They should design a maze to get to the polls and then when you get there you should be able to pass a simple citizenship test.
Such as who is the V.P. of the U.S.?
That would cut the old voting rolls down wouldn't it?
Yeah, right. If it took anywhere close to 10 hours to vote it is solely because of the stupidity of the average Dumasscrat voter. Plus, I guess when you're voting 14 times under eight different names, it takes longer and the line gets held up...
Nor of the Tied States.
The Afghans had it harder. And they still voted. What do Americans have to whine about?
Election Day should be a National Holiday in a Democracy, even the primaries.
A whole day off just for a few minutes of voting? I would be more likely to take Monday off too, turn it into a four day weekend and vote absentee.
There were 93,000 more votes than voters in Cayuhoga county alone in Ohio, discovered by Teed Rockwell of Sonoma State University by examining the county's official election website.
Was that in the final results or just the interim counts. I know there were some times when some precincts were double counted before being posted on the web.
If the normally accurate exit polls didn't match the final results
When have the exit polls matched the final results in the last couple elections? Also, all the posted exit polls were from before the polls closing. I haven't seen the actual exit polls at closing time. A lot of Republicans vote after work which would have been missed by the early afternoon polls.
if Democrat majority precincts voted Republican, that's just because Bush lovers are shy, retiring folk who've never changed their Democrat registration while voting Republican since Nixon.
A lot of districts are Dem controlled. If you want a voice in who runs it you have to register Dem and vote for the least damaging Dem in the primary because the Republicans have given up on the area.
Kerry is sitting on $50 million in unspent campaign funds, but didn't cough up a nickel.
Two reasons: First, there is no reason to spend on a lost cause. Second, if you let someone else carry your water early, you can always go back for a second shot at it yourself if the first try gets tossed out of court.
Maybe the Republicans who weren't challenging dark skinned voters did driveby's with ambulance sirens to draw those shysters away like hounds on a scent?
And John Edwards was at the front of the baying pack
The 4 p.m. exit polls gave Kerry a clear win in carrying the country. The tabulated results hours later put Bush over the top. Exit polls have been the most accurate polls in predicting final results. The swings from exit polls to final votes towards Bush in Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio were so far beyond the margin of error
The Republican get out the vote effort was huge this year. On election day I got two calls from the Republican precinct head - the second even offered a ride to the poll if I needed it. I've never seen that much work done in previous years.
A UC Berkeley research team using public records and statistical patterns to predict results, found "an unexplained discrepancy" between counties with electronic voting machines and those without.
Alternate explanation: The Dems couldn't stuff the electronic voting so didn't have their usual edge.
