Voting machines are down in PA (Vanity)
November 7, 2006 | Kaslin

A friend I chat with in a political room just told me that most of the voting machines are down in Pennsylvania. Did anyone hear about this?

Exactly - logistic problems are almost exclusive to strong Dem areas. A symptom of the Dem mindset of general incompetence and helplessness.

I just heard the voting machines in PA have started walking around and eating people!

I saw that here in MN but it was only this long hair maggot infest dope smoking FN type wearing an Impeach Bush button so apparently they are programed to only eat Rabid Moveon.org Leftists. Freepers should be safe. The Election Judge just game me a wink and a nod and said "nobody saw nothin' "

BTW, Karl says HI, GW says call him. Laura wants to know when you and Heather Locklear are coming by for dinner again.

TRY YOUR LUCK???

Ensure you vote and ensure it counts, don't just "try!"

Gonna have to switch to de-caf before I spray my tv with a hail of gunfire.

LOL! Does that help with tolerating the gunfire noise?

Funny how it works out the way, isn't it.

Dr. Dean has them covered though - he's already saying Pubbies are suppressing votes and here's how to report it (even though it may be in a Dim district, I'm sure they'll find a way to blame a Pubbie):

Letter From Dean and DNC
The Corner at National Review Online ^ | 11-07-06 | Howard Dean

Letter from Howie. After them repeatedly trying to block military absentee votes, have ACORN working for them, dead voters, etc. I found this part especially ridiculous; however, I suspect they need to continue to make that old claim, as well as the issue with the machines, so when they lose, the 7,000 attorneys they have on hand will have something to do.

"There's another thing I want you to be aware of as your and your neighbors head to the polls today.

There have already been widespread reports of voter suppression by Republican operatives, ranging from apparently legal harassment of Democratic voters to potentially illegal efforts to keep voters away from the voting booth.

This isn't new for Republicans. It's a cynical art that the Republican machine has refined for years, and each election brings new variations on oldtactics that target minorities and minority-heavy areas."

Clear the area behind the set of family and pets, then brew a full pot. At least it will be entertaining...

One precinct had to vote on the sample ballots. The election judge said they were legal, so that is what is being used.

Another polling place didn't have enough extension cords for all the machines, and the lines were getting fairly long.

OK in Philly. I just had to dodge the teachers with long earings and the Billy Bob literature.

Yeah, I heard Republicans are supposed to vote today, and Democrats are supposed to vote tomorrow.

I actually sent that line to a DUer I know last year and he went off the deep end, it was great. Wrote back that he made my point, most DUmmy-crats are to dumb to know when to vote. Now I am referred to as a Nazi...

I'll bet most Democrats trust Diebold at the first of every month, when the taxpayers of this country make the deposits for them to withdraw

Reports of problems in OH, IN and FL, too (who wud've thunk it?):

Voting Machines Woes Cause Early Delays [Ohio, Indiana, Florida]

Voting machines began wreaking havoc the minute the polls opened Tuesday, delaying voters in dozens of Indiana and Ohio precincts and leaving some in Florida with little choice but turn to paper ballots instead.

Heard about a problem here in central Indiana, but they got it fixed really quickly. Still, the electronic voting machines make me nervous.

That should have been figured out beforehand, because competent officials would have hooked everything up in position and made sure it worked.

However, someone will have made a trip to a store by now and returned with more extension cords, and hopefully the lines will shrink down to a more reasonable size rather quickly.

Hey Karl just called. GW wanted to know if your were coming to the Rig the Vote party at the White House tonight? He said after reading your stuff on the Sunday Talk Show Thread he was dying to meet Princess Links.
