Delays at polls weren't a scheme (Voting machines distributed evenly)

It just makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Here we've got a party that BENEFITS from disaffected voters...and somehow it's always their voters who can't seem to vote.

A party that BENEFITS from decrying how unpopular America has become abroad...and everything they say and do is aimed at making America look bad to foreigners.

A party that spent most of MY lifetime crying over all that filty money in politics, until they finally outlawed all that money...only to go on to raise more money than ever in the next cycle.

In other words,

SPARE ME THE DEMS' CROCODILE TEARS!

I guess when the truth doesn't work for you, you go to the next best thing - The Lie.

They do it reflexively now, I swear. Look at Gore. Look at Kerry. I wouldn't trust them to drop off my clothes at the cleaners.

The dems have to lie, they just cannot admit they were outvoted and outsmarted by the republicans!

Their original attempt to steal Florida didn't work and this time it didn't work in Ohio.

Wonder what's next on their agenda. But we will be ready!

I think I know why the lines in democRAT districts were much longer.

Those multiple-precinct voting places could cause problems, too. I recall the first time I voted at one place which handled multiple precincts. They didn't announce it or put up signs indicating that there would be more than the one visible line trailing out the door, but when I got to the table, I was told to go to another area. And stand in line again. Probably a lot of people who went to vote after work, with the crowds, made the same mistake.

Thereafter, I went to vote before work, when there were no crowds, no waiting, and you could get in to see which precinct voted where.

The big multiple-precinct polls are likely most common in cities, i.e., Dem areas.

THE ONLY REASON COULD BE IS THAT THOSE VOTERS WERE SLOW AS MOLASSES

In all fairness, it takes extra time for the clerk to help dem voters "remember" their names and log them in, especially when they're not sure how the names are spelled.

In Maryland the standard is one machine per 200 registered voters. I worked in a precinct where we had a huge turnout, but after the morning rush, was steady all day, no long lines, no disgruntled voters. We are suburban with educated voters who tilt Heavily democrat.

We also are one of the MANY precincts where the Dem senator on the ballot got lots more votes than the Dem candidate for President.

The dems have lost a state full of 'victims' to exploit with just that headline.
