I just read another article on Palm Beach newspaper. Some pretty funny comments in there too. Here is the URL:

Wonder what the overall effect will be on the RAT turnout for the general election? Seems like this would hurt both candidates, as the other sides supporters will be convinced the election was stolen from them. Also, if they're fighting each other, they don't have time to go after Jeb.

Just dress rehearsal for the massive vote fraud they have planned for November to steal the election from Bush.

They have to know how to pull it off with the new machines.

"Your argument makes no sense. This was a primary. Democrat against democrat. Reno was opposed by the clinton machine. Who are the democrats that would try to rig this primary, and why? If anything, the machine democrats know that Reno would lose, so why would they support her?"

You tell me. LOL

From the article:

"By Wednesday, thousands of votes still hadn't been counted in three large South Florida counties --— Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach, some of the same counties that figured prominently in the 2000 election dispute.

The three counties represent 29 percent of the state's registered voters, and the returns there showed Reno with a better than 2-to-1 margin.

Besides the problems in Miami-Dade, Broward County officials said they couldn't find 12 cartridges that store votes from the touchscreen machines"

From the Palm Beach Post: "MIAMI-DADE COUNTY - Janet Reno sued to extend poll hours by two hours in Broward, Duval, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. More than 100 voters were turned away when machines were off-line for about five hours in a precinct targeted by Reno in Miami's predominantly black Liberty City neighborhood. Some machines were inoperable at 36 precincts at 2 p.m. Machines reset themselves in another Liberty City precinct, routing voters back to the starting screen. Voting machines were activated late in precincts across the county ranging from affluent to poor black and Hispanic neighborhoods. Four of nine election workers did not show up at a Coral Gables precinct where the doors were not opened for workers to set up until 7 a.m. and the machines were not all running until 8:20 a.m. Voters say they were denied provisional ballots. In predominantly black Carol City north of Miami, poll workers demonstrated how to use machines by marking "yes" on a measure that would repeal the county's gay rights ordinance. Elections headquarters had trouble reaching precincts by telephone. "We expected problems, but not to this magnitude," said Gisela Salas, the assistant supervisor of elections."

Don't sit around trying to figure out the tactics of Marxist/DemocRATS. When you know you're dealing with low-life criminal mentalities in the election process you should automatically know and expect that you will be having to deal with fallout that never favors Republicans.

This is a trial run for November. Those who underestimate snakes (Marxist DemocRATS) always wonder what happened to them when they get bit.

To eliminate snake bites, snake behavior must be anticipated and headed off at the pass. The way to stay ten steps ahead of them is to read their handbook -- the Marxist Manifesto. Ask Horowitz --- he knows them like a book. He knows the tricks in their trick bag. He's a GREAT snake handler.

The stupid party needs to pay more attention to his advice.

I'd love to see McBride and Reno fighting over who won for a month or more.

If so, maybe the legislature can leverage the controversy into having the state take control of the voting process away from the counties.

State control might make it harder to game the system in the future.

Last night after voting for Reno, I was making jokes about becoming a Democratic Precinct Captain.

I didn't sleep well, having aspirations to rise up inside the Democratic party creates troubling thoughts.

But heck if these people are so stupid they can't figure out touch screen voting, why shouldn't we take the leftist's sheep? I don't think there are property rights to sheep.

Some counties have optical scanners. Unfortunately, in one county, the scanners were tearing the paper and jamming. Those voters had to fill out a written ballot. Each county picks what they want.

? Pinellas County went well EXCEPT there was a fire at a library in Palm Harbor and in the city of Seminole, GEE WHIZ, they ran out of plastic voting cards for the touch screens for the REPUBLICAN voters. Didn't they count the number of pubbies in their city and order enough? Those people that didn't get a voting card to put in the touch screen also voted in their own hand writing.

Two people I voted for lost. Everyone else I voted for kicked it.

Sounds like a mess!

We actually had a post-voting survey to fill out about our "voting experience."

Wow, McBride has 45% and Reno has 43%. Just announced on TV! Oh, McBride is calling it a night. Don't tell me he's been up all this time. Both McLawyer & Reno are hiding today. McLawyer's wife's voice is so annoying "caw, caw, caw."

Dems are mining for votes. Can you imagine dems pitted against each other? This is the ultimate payback for what they tried to do to Dubya in 2000. This is rich. LOL

And, local news said that we were embarrassed. I AM NOT EMBARRASSED. I didn't screw up.
