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.

LOL, well, I can tell you, it's amazing how many New Yorkers are allowed to vote in NYC and West Palm Beach. And their poodles. And their cats. And their dead relatives. And even with that Jeb Bush will still whallop McLawyer.

[dead]

John McCain? Hmmm... sounds vaguely familiar. Was he the guy who was Mr. T's boss on the A-Team?

[rintense]

Naturally, Jeb will be blamed because these new electronic machines are racist, biased, blah-bla-blah-blah-BLAH, because minorities and the elderly don't know anything about technology.

[BillCompton]

In our counties they do.

In Broward and Dade they have the kinds of machines that do not print a receipt. What counties are you referring to?

[Issaquahking]

Ya you got em. Florida is the first place that they say the voters can't vote.....sounds to me like tricks of the left. What they're really doing is working on stealing the ability to vote away from the American public.

Don't think so? Just remember....nothing could be this stupid...it had to be planned to look like this.

[FlaFreedom]

There is no printout. After you have voted a review screen displays showing all the votes that you have made. You can change your vote at that time. There are no printouts or receipts at all.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

Thank you. WE carried the fight for our state and the nation. Where the hell were the New Mexican FReepers????? We will win again so I'm not concerned. The rest of the nation makes fun of Florida, but if we're so "stupid" then why the hell do millions of these people keep moving here?????????

LOL

Well, this one would have been breaking, if it was something more than just some kook calling into a radio show to make some allegations. :-)

[MagnusMat]

"God, a free bucket of Chicken has never been so easy!"

[Skooz]

Agreed. This just smells like complete BS, meant to taint Jeb's imminent victory.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

Exactly. We redistricted our state thanks to Jeb and the pubbies controlling the legislature. It means we'll be adding Republicans to the Congressional roles. Let's see who can proclaim the same for their state.

[areafiftyone]

Whoda thunk? Will wonders never cease!! </sarcasm> Aren't these supposed to be "new and improved, handy dandy, push me there and touch me here" machines? Jeeze we got machines from the 1960's in New York and they don't have that problem. Maybe we should transfer our old machines there.

[The Wizard]

sounds like terry's troops are onh the ground

[rintense]

Did you get a receipt summarizing how you voted? Is that standard?

[MattinNJ]

You sir, are ignorant. The vast majority of Cubans vote Republican and are staunch anti-communists. If you will remember the 2000 election, it was the Cubans who stormed the building when the Dems wanted to count ballots behind closed doors in clear violation of the sunshine laws. Ironically, it was little Elian who got Bush elected. Clinton/Gore had started to make inroads into the Cuban community and got maybe 40% of their vote (I may be a little off in my numbers). After the Elian debacle, that number dropped to 10%. There's your 1000 or so votes that put Bush over the top.

You also must remember there were basically two waves of Cubans. Those from the 60's who tended to be upper or middle class. Castro figured it was a lot easier to get rid off his opponents by deporting them. He let the children escape via the Peter Pan flights. Their parents followed afterwards. The second wave came from the Carter era when Castro emptied his prisons and mental institutions. These Marielistas gave the hard working, God fearing, anti-communists Cubans a bad name. The ones who wash ashore nowadays are not the cream of the crop of Cuban society who managed to escape long ago but are merely lost souls who probably tend to vote democrat like any other immigrant group.

I would put the Cubans up against any other immigrant group as far as productivity, strong family units, God fearing, and conservative.

Yeah, sure, all those Black folks from NYC just went and rooned paradise. Until then there weren't any Blacks in Florida willing to vote for Carrie Meeks or Jedge Alcee Hastings now was they? It is just another Yankee plot, like forcing the DemocRATic party on all the peckerwoods. Geez.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

Don't worry. I'm voting as soon as my wife gets off work this afternoon. I'm what's known as a hardcore conservative. And we have some great races in our district for once, with a choice between a pubbie and a Libertarian finally. What a great day this is to live in Florida. And by the way:

AND TO ALL FLORIDA VOTERS THIS IS A MUST:

YOU MUST VOTE OUT FLORIDA SUPREME COURT JUSTICE HARRY LEE ANSTEAD!!!!

He's one of the idiots that created the Algore mess in 2000. Get rid of this bum.
