Joe, I was about to comment that I remember the last election that the same number - 18 - of machines was also lost in Broward, then I looked at the date of the thread after reading some posts that referred to Miriam Oliphnant & McBride....lol

They no doubt will hook em up and send in the results to the elections commission. FRAUD ALERT

[rolling_stone]

The machines will be tracked more carefully in the Nov. 5 general election, Cotter said. County workers will pick them up immediately after polls close and deliver them to the election warehouse.


What about November 2?

[Muzzle_em]

Do they do ANYTHING right in that county?
What a bunch of freakin "Maroons!"

[Muzzle_em]

I'm SURE these machines will suddenly show up next week and they will just "plug them in" and start using them without any inspection, testing or ANYTHING!!!!

[sasafras]

Damn just damn - when are we going to get serious about our elections. Democrats are stealling it from under our feet.

S'okay! :^D

To ALL Freepers and Lurker voters:

GO to the polls and vote for Bush. Take your friends with you to do the same. If you know any Zell Miller type Democrats that support Bush and they are voting for him, take them as well.

Vote EARLY to avoid the rush. If you wait until November 2nd, make SURE to go and vote!! And if you do wait until November 2nd, remember:

IGNORE ANYTHING IN THE MEDIA YOU HEAR (i.e., making a fast, early call in Florida for Kerry, etc.). WE CAN AVOID A REPEAT OF THE FLORIDA ELECTION DEBACLE OF 2000 THIS YEAR IF GOP TURNOUT IS STRONG, imho.

It's not clear from the story, but I understand Oliphant DID get fired over these screwups/incompetance in the FL primary.

Right?

[ridesthemiles]

Broward shows its mettle one more time....""

My bigger worry is that someone has them and is using them already to send in votes that are frauds.

18 machines could do alot of damage.........

[Legion04]

EVERYONE responsible for these machines should be FIRED.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yes.

Way too easy enough for a good (inside) operator to fake the electronic votes, then destroy the internal (programmed) evidence.

Method.

Motive.

Opportunity.

Add one more:

Concealment: The MSM REFUSES to aknowledge or report democrat vote fraud.

What item of information is missing from this story?

[TaxRelief]

Oh! You pinged everyone, whoops. No bum steer intended. This was a reminder.

*When* these machines disappeared is not the point. If they are still out there, every precinct across America that uses them, has a problem.

How can they be used? They can be swapped out for matching machines. Erased machines are then swapped for other machines and so on...

Every precinct needs a poll watcher who will follow the machines to a locked vault.

[js1138]

Oliphant DID get fired over these screwups/incompetance in the FL primary. Right?

Someone did. I think she was the one. Jeb had the guts to fire a democrat and replace her with a Republican.

[TaxRelief]

Did they ever FIND these machines?

[the_rightside]

I wouldn't trust the sis'ta as far as I could throw her.

[Not A Snowbird]

Broward needs to clean house. Fire everyone and start over.

They need to do that in Milwaukee, too. Just this morning the election commission struck down Republican lawyers who challenged over 5,000 fake and non-existent addresses on new registrations. They even went around photographing the addresses that turned out to be gyro stands and empty lots. Just struck them down and said there wasn't enough evidence and all 5,000 bogus registrations stand. Unbelievable! Kerry WILL steal this election. I don't care what the polls say, the dems will come up with enough in fraud.
