4,000 voting machines in ONE county> WTF?

Maybe for the whole state...

[alnick]

You know, it doesn't matter what kind of fancy-schmancy expensive voting equipment they get. The problem is not the equipment. The problem is that there will always be a percentage of voters who are either too stupid or too lazy to follow the simple directions in order to vote properly.

It is Palm Beach County. The deceased have to have a place to vote too.

That was my first thought. They need new voters, not new voting machines.

Honest election officials would be nice too.

"Touch screens."

More opportunity for fraud and deception under the guise of "progress." Takes away the possibility of recounting any hard evidence of the actual vote. Big Brother takes another step forward.

Not the whole state - we're keeping the optical scanners out here in the panhandle. If you look back at 2000, you will find that, for the counties with optical scanners, the recount totals changed only when the different absentee voter standards were allowed.

I thought this part was funny though:

I think that there's a certain segment of the population that still holds me responsible for November 2000," LePore, then a Democrat, but now an independent, said.

She's already seeking cover by being "independent" for the next round of democrat-party-vote-fraud.

Touch screen voting machines discriminate against the deceased Democrats. Where is Jessie Jackson?

[BushMeister]

What I'm saying is, my polling place has 5 old lever-operated voting machines. Let's say a more populated polling place has 10 machines. That would still make for 400 polling places in a single county.

That's about right if you have one per "retirement village". Of course you have to keep a few dozen spares at the democrat party headquarters, sell a few on ebay, and keep a few in the truck of each poll worker's car.

Not really. Just program them to count .1 dead Rat for every Republican voter and the dead will be heard from loud and clear.

[Ole Okie]

Touch screen voting machines discriminate against the deceased Democrats. Where is Jessie Jackson?

Not at all. A surrogate can stand in for the dearly and lately departed and touch the screen for the lamented.

The only question will be whether one surrogate stands in for all, or whether separate surrogates are required for each cemetery.

Of course, only Dumbocrap votes will be recorded from the ghostly venue.
