Let every vote count in Florida means allowing Northeastern Liberals to vote in both their home state and Florida.

it should be easy enough to compare the images of the firmware (and unlikely that the hacker would have backed out his changes). How may actually hacked boxes were found?

Also know that any Dems who bail on their state’s primary also have surrendered their party’s other nominees to whoever the backroom DNC have selected to get the push.

Typical headline .. if it was a voter change to DEMS - you can bet that would have been in the headline.

These people still think we’re stupid!

I can’t see how Dems converting to Pubs is going to help our cause. These people will be voting for the likes of Giuliani, McPain, or any RINO you can think of. Left is Left no matter which direction you face.

EXACTLY!!!

Which is a big reason why Rudy is 'betting the farm' and is so confident about Florida--especially when you see how poorly he does when CONSERVATIVE Republicans caucus and vote (ref. Iowa, Wyoming, NH, Michigan and South Carolina)

I don’t remember the exact number but it was sufficient to result in huge recalls. I remember also that several computer scientists demonstrated how quickly and easily computers could be sabotaged. Frankly, I’m too ignorant of this high tech stuff to understand what their explanation was as even they were doing it. But it was really scary. I think too many of us have come to think that this super-sophisticated equipment is infallible and its results unquestionable. And I used to be one of them.

Nice if we get more Republicans. Kind of a bummer if we get a lot of Democrats voting in our primary.

Yep more of the 1994 problem from which the GOP never recovered. It was the in thing to be a Republican that year and many voters as well as DEMs left their party for the GOP. By POTUS election 1996 the damage was done. The GOP leadership made the mistake of thinking the party switching meant the GOP needed to move to the left and did just that.

Maybe it's time for Constitutional Conservatives to let the GOP and DEM Parties implode on themselves back into one party. Others could form a new party from Constitutional Conservatives where at least there would be some honest to goodness partisanship between the parties again. It might work for a while anyway.

.

dems are registering illegal alien Haitians, Dominicans, Mexicans, whatever moves in Florida

The feds have no intention of making voting fraud and ID fraud and election fraud a serious felony and putting the felons and recruiters away for serious time

Eventually I could see some vigilant US citizens taking action on their own

WHY isn’t it a law that there has to be both Republican and Democrat officials monitoring every election spot???

Am I missing something or is that just too simple?

Yes, I can see citizens getting so upset nowdays that they start ‘doing something’.

Left is Left no matter which direction you face.

That would include Huckabee, of course. We don't have a first tier conservative running in this election, so the Demcocrats may as well have at it. Who knows, they might find someone to their liking among the Repubs, I surely can't.

I couldn’t agree more. A perfect example is how the MSM is gushing and slobbering over Obama. Suddenly this liberal political hack has become “charismatic” and the best orator since Demosthenes. They certainly think most of us are stupid. And I suppose those who fall for their liberal propaganda spin are. The MSM are biased as much for what they OMIT as for what they present tendentiously.

Are you a Paul supporter? I’m supporting Hunter now that Tancredo has dropped out. I know, I know, he can’t win! I can explain elsewhere why I still support him. Paul has a few good ideas but he’s a libertarian isolationist who’s part of the “blame America first” crowd - as was evident in the debate when he clearly suggested America was to blame for 9/11 because of our foreign policy.

See W.C. Fields: “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”

That was Mencken.

Fields said something similar about dogs and little kids.

Tempting to take the first opportunity to vote against Hillary - we don’t know if we’ll have another - but I’m not gonna vote in a Rat primary.

They let voters switch party affiliation that close to the primary? Where I live, and in most states, it’s too late to change party affiliation for the primary.

You’re absolutely right. Many Floridians came here from liberal states like New York and New Jersey and they’ve seen liberalism ruin their states and quality of life - and they’re damned determined not to go through that again down here.

I thought H.L. Mencken said that.
