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.

It is the Party of Immorality and Dishonesty.

And remember, each time you see Hilary and Bill laughing at a funeral because they think they can replace the man who kicked the bucket at the last moment with a stronger Democrat, that:

Doing good, McGruff.

Been real busy at work and home! It leaves me little time for FReeping! I'm mostly a Hobbit Hole dweller these days over in General Interest since I can post and come back hours later if need be.

But I can't resist election day FR news! Too much fun and excitement - work be durned!! There's always tomorrow!

Fregards, Ruthy

FReepers are truly the best.

Anytime. Besides, there is nothing like watching a gulf coast sunset with your favorite adult beverage.

I just hope we aren't still using this thread a month from now.


This just shows that you can try to build a moron proof voting machine, but they'll just find a bigger Goron.

Each voter gets a printed receipt from the machine

There's no printed receipt in Broward County. You do get a chance to review your selections, and change it as often as you like, before finalizing it.

Rogers is a bitter, arrogant, foul-mouthed Clymer.

It's sad, because yesterday and today are my favorite days of the year. I get to drive around town and flip off the dems holding those stupid signs up. I doubt this thread will be alive a month from now. The Gorons knew they would lose when they sent Bubba and Algore down here.

Sounds to me like all of these "problems" with the voting machines might just be part of the DemoRATS get out the vote drive.
