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.

Kiss my ass.

We were fine until the Northeastern Liberals moved down here because the demorats had finished their rape of the econmies up there. Our state has a long proud conservative heritage but then 8 million commie libs moved out of the Rust Belt because the unions and rats destroyed everything in the last 2 decades. So yes, kiss my ass.

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.

Is it any wonder they are power hungry and will do anything to hold on to power, including changing the rules as the last minute and mounting legal challenges and other nasty attacks?

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.

Most likely, this complaint was prescripted by the DNC.

They know that they will lose, and they want to tarnish the win and open up for a re-re-recount until they can drum up enough votes.

There are federal inspectors watching the voting. Is there any independent confirmation of any voting problems? I'm sure not!

We need to know WHICH voters are claiming this. Once we know that, we can make an educated guess whether the machines or the voters were "broken."

Has anyone considered whether the posters in Baltimore City that said the election "had been postponed one day" and no one could vote unless "their rent and utility bills were paid up" might have been put up by Terry McAuliffe's Democrats to 1) create a false issue to attack Republicans, and 2) provide an excuse for the loss by a female Kennedy Democrat in a Democrat state?

You can bet money it's Broward. The elections supervisor there has already been rebuked for taking machines home with her to "study" them. Yeah, right.

Amazing how all these problems happen in Democrat controlled precincts, where Democrats are the election officials.

"The state that can't pour piss out of a shoe if the directions were printed on the bottom?"

Hey - don't dump on the whole state!! It is the democratic controlled areas in south FL that are screwing up!
