Congressmen want paper ballots in Broward...(Florida Dems cry for PAPER BALLOTS!)
Sun-Sin-ton-all, Ft. Loserdale ^ | Scott Wyman

Two U.S. congressmen sought federal intervention on Thursday to prevent another election meltdown in Broward County after state officials rejected the last possible option to ease the crush of voters at the polls next week.

Reps. Peter Deutsch, D-Fort Lauderdale, and Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar, asked U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft to pressure the state to allow paper ballots to ease long lines at the precincts on Tuesday. They are threatening to go to court and allege that Florida is violating the federal Voting Rights Act.

I'm telling you this. The RATS are in a corner and they are rabbid. They will stop at nothing to keep power. This is nothing compared to what is scheduled to be released in the next 48 hours. There will be blatant lies and those lies will be pushed by the leftist media. Every dirty trick, every lie, every illegal polical favor, by every socialist group will be called in. The election fraud will be immense. We have 48 hours and the filth will flow like sewage water from the RATS. Get ready for it!

We must be ready for this. We have shown a light on fraud in several states, but that doesn't mean they won't do it, cause they will. They are desparate, and rabbid. They are mad with power, and they won't lose it. We are fighting an enemy that is totally berserck, and crazy. They are cornered and they are extremely dangerous. Watch for their desparation, they aim to take over this country at any cost.

Forwarned is forarmed!

Maybe they want paper ballots because that is the easiest way to cheat. It has been alleged and I believe it to be true, based on the source, that during the recounts in Florida, at least three workers were found to be pricking the recounted ballots with a sharp instrument hidden in their hands. I believe they were relieved of their duties, however they most likely were never charged with a crime nor were they fined or imprisoned. It can only happen in FL? Probably not.

LOL! I voted in Hillsbourough county the other day...I noticed that there was no mention of the party affiliation on the ballot. In Texas you could vote straight republican or demonrat if you wanted. The pig amendment really upset me. They don't want to harm pregnant pigs...but its okay to abort a baby...crazy.

It isn't going to take me 13 minutes to vote! I have my sample ballot all filled out and will take it to the polling place with me! Probably won't take more than 2 minutes!

How stupid do these guys think voters are? Why can't you read the instructions while waiting in the damn line? Oh wait, these are Broward County voters, they dems are assuming that they are very stupid!
