FLORIDA VOTERS CLAIM MACHINES 'BROKEN', VOTED FOR MCBRIDE, MARKED IT AS AS BUSH
"I voted for McBride, but the machine counted it as Bush. It did this three times. The polling worker finally said, 'We have to reprogram this machine. Another person was having the same trouble while I was there.'"
So claimed a caller to Southern Florida's WQAM-AM and the highly-rated radio talkprogram NEIL ROGERS SHOW.
"I'll tell you right now, this election is fixed!" roared Rogers, who has been in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale market for more than 30 years. "Based on a few early calls, it is going to be a wild, wild time!"
Touch-screen and other high-tech voting machines make their full-scale debut Tuesday.

Just goes to prove the old adage: Democrats are stupid. NO, NO, NO, you got it all wrong!
Dimocrats IS stupid. Dimocrats IS stupid!
Of course, that depends on the meaning of "is".....

I know. Everyone thinks it's a problem with the native population. It's the libs migrating here because they wrecked the economy in their own states. But no one has the balls to admit that but us.

"I voted for McBride, but the machine counted it as Bush. It did this three times."
Is it normal for a Democrat to cast three votes in Florida?

Each voter gets a printed receipt from the machine. If the votes are not what they wanted, they can take it to a poll worker to cancel the vote and get it changed. Hummmm...never heard of such a thing up here in Missouri. This seems like the absolute perfect mechanism for the buying of votes! Must be a Democrat decision.

Effin liars. If I were in the presense of this piece of filth I'd slug him for being a threat to my civil rights.

Just remember "Broward" and 2000. It will all come back to. I'm sorry I forgot:

these morons can't even vote on a touch screen...gee..what's the avg IQ for those voters there...
why is voter frauds is the norm for asll thse black neighbourhoods...
watchout the st. louis metro, i wont how long they are gonna keep the polls open beyond what the law states...
if the working class can vote on time and get things done, it shouldn't be that hard for the welfare black mommies to do the same...
To: rintense
You're right. I used these machines in the primary. You can't vote for someone you don't want to, it lists who've you've voted for and asks if these are the selections you wish to make.
If not, you can go back and revote. It also tells you if you failed to vote in any of the categories, and then asks if you want to return to that category to vote.

Ahh...so they're voting three times now!?
To: Nuke'm Glowing
Now before you Floridian kiss anything, some of you vocal local 'Pubbies oughta send a lawyer or two up to NY and NJ, and maybe Kennachewshitts to find out how many of your "Floridians" are still voting in their home jurisdiction.
If you don't turn up at least 5,000, drinks on me.

All over again.

Same old BS over and over,again
Deja PU!
Democrats stink! LOL!
To: ConservativeDude
why would the machine let you vote three times? It lets you review and correct your votes before you actually submit the ballot. It's entirely possible that this is really happening, and that somebody mis-programmed the correlation between touch screen and candidate -- it's something that's done by the county election people.
It should have been tested and retested, and tested again. But with these stupid Florida Dem counties, you can probably surmise that the QA never happened.

This is a staged operation to give them something else to whine until the next election.That's my reaction too. Same for the Baltimore flyer. Probably not a coincidence that both these alleged incidents are occuring in places where Republicans are supposed to be winning the key race.
With 20/20 hindsight, I suppose it was predictable. We're looking a little harder at 'rat vote fraud, or at least talking about it a little more (time will tell if we're doing anything effective). They're trying to trump up a countercase to confuse the issue.

" WELL WHAT'S NEW!!!!!! THEY NEED TO SEND SOMEONE FROM THEIR MENTAL HOSPITALS TO TEACH THOSE NUTS HOW TO PUNCH THOSE MACHINES...... HEY FOLKS IN FLORIDA----- CAN'T YOU READ^& FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS? IT'S VERY SIMPLE......."
No. The problem is that the aholes from the Northeast and Midwest are bringing their typical liberal corrupt practices into the demorat counties as they have moved down here over the last 20 years. The rest of the state is doing fine. Besides, are you going to say that NJ is the epitomy of ethics and intelligence replacing a mafiaso with a walking dead man?
To: MHT
ROTFL!! You got that right. Don't get me wrong, I love senior citizens, but your post is right on the money.
