You would serve yourself better to repeat that while facing a mirror, as you have directly personalized this by taking personal shots at other posters by name. Similarly, you have all but completely avoided the content of my posts in which I have patiently attempted to answer your purported concerns (though in later responses I have admittedly expressed my disapproval of your attitude as a result of my more than reasonably patient position toward you wearing thin). And of those responses you acknowledge, I have seen nothing but what appear to be intentional and selective distortions of the written record aimed at no other purpose than drawing attention to yourself by demonstrating just how much of an anal retentive snot you can be. Fortunately, most freepers are intelligent enough to see through your ilk which makes me wonder exactly what you see yourself to be gaining by coming here in the first place.
Oh well, at least you keep the rest of us entertained.
Combine with that allegations of illegal voters and no one even needs to determine when the ballot boxes were stuffed (if that even happened). Just eliminate enough dead, non-Houston citizens, and similar from the voting list and the election could toggle the other way.
The machines are extremely secure and leave little possibility of problems from the lack of a paper trail, simply because each record is duplicated. Each of the individual machines records the vote internally, while also sending it into a second memory storage in a central unit. It also records the time, so votes cast after the election is supposed to be closed will be flagged. The machine must be literally opened up inside through tamper resistant seals to get to the memory card, so any fraud will be detected that way.
The touch screen thing is often thought of as a convenience, but trust me - the wheel is better ballot security wise. Touch screens on computers must be calibrated, and a single calibration error (intentional or not) could end up casting votes for the wrong person, whereas the wheel will always turn to whoever is being selected.
I would still like to see an alphanumeric entry rather than the wheel. It is good to hear of some of the security measures involved to safeguard the electronic ballot box.
These leftists don't let rules and regulations get in the way of their election day fun. Since I saw what I saw as a Republican in a Leftist precinct, I can't imagine what was going on in a Leftist precinct with no Republicans around and in precincts with much heavier turnout than we had in ours.
Gracey and I were talking in last nights thread about the problems in the voting system and how there have to be some major overhauls. I can't offer many solutions, but I can certainly describe what I'm seeing on the front lines and try to get some attention paid to it.
This is the "same trick" pulled in virtually every big city in the US.
It would have been an indication that, as was most likely the case in the Hillary Clinton Senate race, the massive fraud was ultimately unnecessary.
Hope this helps.
Glad you cleared that one up for me.
Your images were turning into reality...they were casting votes for people who "forgot" to vote.
Some one or two elections ago, "darth" watched the polls in a Democrat precinct from 7 to 7... He said few came to vote, but at the end of the day, many hundreds had voted. Interesting. And interesting that 110% of voters seem to turn out in some Democrat precincts across the country for presidental elections... very interesting.
It took GUTS for you to be a precinct judge in a leftist precinct. You served us well, BushDude. I'll drink to you and GOPCapitalist. You guys are great. Thanks for caring. (tears have been shed for Sanchez and our flawed political process)
This is GOPcapitalist's statement in his opening post: I am calling on any and all freepers with information pertaining to ballot fraud in yesterday's Houston mayoral race to post it here and now.
Sounds to me like they're looking for an explanation on some hunches they have received, including my own problems in a polling place yesterday.
You said a mouthfull there...It deserves to be repeated.
ConsistentLibertarian is just like those Democrats who took your time to sign the "Challenge Affidavit's." It's a digression tactic to gain attention and throw one off track, when in reality there's no concern for the subject.
I'd say this guy's a leftist troublemaker, here in disguise. He has not answered one question posed to him by me.
I was told last night when I was at the Sanchez campaign HQ, that a few years ago a Republican poll watcher followed the election judge to the tabulation center after the polls were closed. The election judge made several trips around 610 while the poll watcher stayed right behind him...when they counted the ballots, the election judge miraculously had 70 more ballots than he did when he left the polling place.
