Ever wonder why questions of voter fraud are only raised when Democrats lose? When liberals prevail, not a peep is heard about intimidation, fraud or hanging chads. All but forgotten are the ten thousand lawyers standing by, ready to jump in and save our electoral system from the faulty voting machines. I guess the machines must be working after all, since they tallied in favor of the democrats. Whew, that's a relief.

Shhh! Nothing to see here, no fraud, move along... Yes, not even in Philly, nope...
DAMM GOOD POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTTT!
It is an American tradition. It was tolerated years ago to help "even the playing field" with the power and wealth of Republicans.
Today it is a tactic of the New Left Stalinists.
In both cases it's dog-bites-man stuff.
Yep! WIPE OUT! I have to face that fact! Not a single Dem incumbent lost yesterday. I fear for the Republic!
Dammit! Karl Rove has been slacking off with this earthquake/hurricane/vote stealing machine!
Just cause it's rampant doesn't make it right. Oh, that's right.. the left gets to choose what "right" means.
For me, even if everyone and their brother do it, it doesn't make it right!!!
And there were certainly no illegal alien voters.
I'm still watching the Wilson/Madrid race in Albuquerque. Talk about a place of corruption and vote fraud!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like the GOP rolled over or something.
Anyone with a pulse recognized this point around 10 pm yesterday.
"Not from Missouri? You probably didn't get that."
Familys been in Missouri since the 1830s. I got it.
'Vote early, vote often.'
That's pretty obvious...no one complains when they have won.
True. but there weren't many close elections yesterday.
"Ever wonder why questions of voter fraud are only raised when Democrats lose?"
Because Democrats and their supporters tend to be whiny crybabies who can't stand to lose, and most Republicans are not.
Ever wonder why it's OK for Democrats to whine but when Republicans do it, we're called on it?
I read that they impounded the vote machines from 27 counties in PA. I am glad that no one is hyping this stuff to the MSM. Let the officials investigate and do their due dilligence. They have time before they certify the elections.
It has been said that the Harris County, Texas "eSlate" system has been the benchmark system for other States to consider utilizing in their elections...
It is not a touch screen system, it utilizes a mechanical "scrolling" system that highlights a choice that is entered by a separate "enter" button, not on the screen...
There are several other functions that give the voter the ability to skip to the "next" or "previous" screen, and it even has a "help" button, that pauses the voting process (by choice of the voter) and at last a "cast ballot" button in red...
The only drawback I saw this time is the increased risk of an inadvertant "cast ballot" punch...Instead of hitting enter to tabulate your choice, hitting the cast ballot button is pretty much the "coup de grau"...
You are done at that point, your "vote" is in the can, and there is no way to retrieve, cancel or redo your vote if your not happy...
The only thing I'd like to see is a plastic hard cover over the cast ballot button to keep any inadvertant contact from casting your ballot before your ready...
I saw several of these happen yesterday, and am going to officially suggest that design modification to the machines before the next election...
Even though this is a mechanical type computer voting system, I believe the parts and microswitches are robust enought to stand up better than a sensitive touchscreen system that can develop areas of pressure bleed out that can advance and blend into other areas that may confuse and register another selection...
But thats just my opinion...
They make it a point to educate people that these are not touchscreen systems, but it amazes me that there are still people around that start punching at the screen thinking its going to work...And even during our training, some people still try to touch something to make it works...
Amazing...
