Re your #20.......thanks for the laugh!

The vast right wing conspiracy!

Broward County, which was favoring Reno by a better than 2-1 margin, suspended the ballot count just before 5 a.m. with 93 percent of the votes tallied and the race too close to call. Workers planned to resume the count at 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Reno's campaign warned it would consider contesting the Democratic primary results as she trailed by 2 percent of votes cast.

Unbelievable.

[Greeklawyer]

Just heard a rumor on the news. Five of the new touch machines were removed from service because they would only allow votes for mcbride. Can anyone else provide more info? Heard this on morning drive, news update.

PJ,All

The Demorats (especially the Clintonoids) want the controversy. I am betting that the poll workers that didn't show up were in the Reno camp and reported late because they knew what the polling data really showed and that was a substantial Reno loss! I want all to note also that the Demorat dominated counties chose the "touch screen" variety of computer which has no paper record intentionally. This is open to huge manipulations. The legit method is the one Brevard County has which is a computer read paper ballot. That way you have a paper trail of the election which can be manually counted if necessary.

Why every person who works the polls inthose counties hasn't been fired yet is beyond me. They are obviously unable to do such an easy job.

what are democrats thinking when they vote for Reno? P U she is a monster.

[garyb]

So, I read this sentence:

In North Carolina, Dole got 339,748 votes, or 80 percent, with 99 percent of precincts reporting. Bowles, a Charlotte investment banker, had 272,015 votes, or 43 percent. His nearest challenger, state Rep. Dan Blue, had 178,210, or 28 percent.

Then I add 80% plus 43% plus 28% and I get 151%, so, I think gee was this written by AP? Then I look and see, yes, it was.

[Rebelbase]

Your math is fuzzy.

[Credo]

Uh Bowles and Dole were not in the same race. Dole got 80% of the Republican Primary vote and Bowles got 43% of the Crat Primary.

This thing with the Florida primary demonstrates they have 3 very corrupt counties.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Dole won the republican primary. Bowles and Blue were in the democrat primary.

What's really great here is that the famous stubbornness of Janet Reno may well prevent her from conceding the election...

If the Broward County Board of Elections hears diesel engines idling outside the building and looks out to see M1A1's, they better look out! They better not be abusing any children in there!

Oh wait, she's not AG anymore. Nevermind.

On a serious note, this whole fiasco is a set-up. Janet Reno herself "had trouble" voting in the morning. Clearly Sasquatch knew she was going to lose at the polls, and all of these "problems" are just her attempt to throw up enough smoke that she can steal the election. Not even the Floriduh election workers can be stupid enough to screw this up for a second time in a row.

Clintonistas know no shame.

Floriduh DimwitocRATS remind me of a guy that lived in my neighborhood. Everytime his side started losing in football, baseball, basketball, etc. he would grab the ball and run away, saying "The game's not over, the game's not over."

HA, sounds like my brother (when he was very young, not now) - as kids, often if he were losing bad enough he would dump the board of whatever game we were playing so we couldn't finish the game. Kind of the same thing. Both can be applied to the Democrats during elections it seems.

Does anyone know when the final results are expected to be announced?

Thank you,

Now, don't laugh but my mother-in-law runs a voting precinct in Jacksonville. She was telling me the other day they all had to go to classes at a college there in JAX to get certified to run these machines. Her machines are optical scanning machines where they fill in the circle for who they are voting for. In other places in the state, there are the touch screen voting machines. Scary that they made these pole workers take classes to be certified to work these machines and they still can't get it right. I've emailed her this morning to find out how it went at her precinct...am waiting on a reply.

[truthandlife]

I think it is interesting to see how Democrats like Janet Reno know how to manipulate the voter system. Remember Democrats are the king of voter fraud. When you know how to do this and it is close race this is always how it happens.

You opponent jumps out to an early lead and then at the end of the night, the Democrats (Janet Reno in this case) gets a few precincts where she knows how to stuff the ballot box. She finds out how many votes she needs at the end of the night and starts the stuffing in her picked out counties (usually predominantly African American precincts where she has a deal with the precinct judge.) See how the gap narrowed at the end? This is the same thing Al Gore did in Florida, Michigan, and Missouri and it works.

Sickening!

[The_Victor]

So, Reno is going to follow in the footsteps of Algore. Does this mean that when she finally loses the election after a 30 day tantrum, will she gain 50 lbs. and grow a beard?
