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.

You would never know if there was some internal problem past the ballot review screen, and so I question the authenticity of this obviously dem caller. Thank you. Apparently, what we learn from this report is that at least one democrat was allowed to vote three times.

"The attempt coup d'etats at the polls. They do not concede when they are even beat.
They show up at funerals smiling and
turn them into campaign rallies that force state First Ladies
into tears, (or at least fake crying themselves when caught on
camera).
They advertise in Latino papers in the US in subtle
ways that 'immigrantes' can and should register to vote and
don't be intimidated even if they are not citizens.
They take their candidates off the ballot one
month before election and replace them in order to win
a state, even after the primary voters have spoken.
This is a party made up of people
and policies that are very immoral."
Well said. Very unethical people are running the DNC trainwreck.

Voted him out! And also, I do NOT believe this caller to a radio show. What BS
To: rintense
LOL, I was referring to the Florida border...I want a wall there to keep out the Northeastern Liberal establishment!!!
To: copycat
THEY WOULDN'T DO IT SO THE SCREEN SHOWED THE CHANGE. They would simply add the McBride vote to the "wrong" databaseEXACTLY, and if that were the case, the caller would never have seen any problem, and therefore would have never called. Unless, of course, they are simply DEMOCRATIC ELECTION STEALERS WITH A VENDETTA AGAINST ANYONE NAMED BUSH, in which case they will simply wreck, drag out, challenge, nullify and lawyerize this election until there is no winner and no democracy.
Is it time for the shooting war yet, or should we wait til next week?

Thank you. And yes, we are voting the bum out. There is just that one small corner that will be on national television again tonight. At least until the pubbies start showing all the dead Indians that Daschlerat has voting in South Dakota. It's going to be a long night!

Not only do the Dems want to take away freedom of speech(campaign finance reform), or our 2nd amendment rights (gun control), they are now trying to deprive us of our right to vote (vote fraud).And Babs Streisand says that our rights will erode under W!!! What lousy hypocrites!!!

Shall we send them some cheese to go with their whine?
To: Nuke'm Glowing
Yeah, I can see where that could get on you all's nerves, too, but at least they speak English (one can only hope), observe acceptable American standards of hygiene, avoid living 19 to a house, etc. My favorite bumpersticker in Tampa says, "We don't care how you did it up north." To be absolutely fair and even-handed about it, Texas' border counties have been turned into a Third World country, too.
To: RMDupree
Exactly!!!! When the Cuban-Americans relocated to Miami, a lot of people rolled their eyes. But they are the hard working backbone of a lot of the business community there. It's the damned liberals and minorities that Carter loved so much that don't work and leach off of the dole that have ruined that part of Florida. I was going to move my business over there but after some conversations with my friends down there, I decided to stay on the West Coast of Florida.
To: Sender
It's the usual DNC plan. Create doubt. They couldn't get their poll watchers into place because they did not read the memo issued a month ago by the demorat elections supervisor. I hope they do arrest the bitch and give her 10 years with a fat Rosie type lesbian cellmate.
To: valleygal
Praying the votes for Salmon will be there in the end.Good morning, valleygal! I did my part and voted Salmon this morning! Hubby will go later and do the same.
To: Dallas
I sort of doubt the validity of this.
The machines give you a summary of what you voted and I do not see how she could had voted 3 times as well.
Besides that I DO NOT trust any machine that leaves no paper trail. They all should give some sort of paper summary or receipt of what you voted. Something that proves you voted for what you voted for.
BAH. I just don't trust them for either party.
To: Dallas
More'n likely, they thought 'McBride' was spelled 'B-U-S-H'
To: Admin Moderator
Given that this was just some caller to a talk show, does this thread merit a slot in the Breaking News sidebar?Well, will the media treat this claim as true? If so, it is news.
The normal, rational way to look into the story is to have a demonstration to recreate the claim, but the media doesn't always do that--they may take the claim at face value and give it credibility it may not warrant. Let's see.
