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.

The optical scanner spit my ballot back the first try. Took it on the second attempt. No worry.

[pepsionice]

Machines don't make mistakes like these folks are talking about unless you program that way. If you have a thousand machines...they should all function the same way...if they don't....you have a totally corrupt system and might as well throw the machines in the ditch and go back to paper!

DNC 10/28/2002 MEMO We have a problem. We are not ready for this election. The idiots we have convinced to vote democrat are so stupid they can't figure out how to cast the vote. They see butterflies and new computers and they are clueless.

What will we do?

Contact us ASP as we will have to hit into high gear with plan B.

To ask for recounts where ever we lose and or challenge the whole thing in court right to the supreme court if needed. Because we are going to lose big time this year. The Republicans will win against us in a LANDSLIDE. If we don't do something.

Our democrat voters are so stupid that we would have to hold their hand and do the vote for them. Just to get it right. So I am sending this memo out now so we can be ready.

Plan B. YES I know we will have to try and steal it again. Maybe someday there will come a time when we won't have to but in the last 50 years and every election in the tradition of RATS we have had to steal em all. Thanks for reading this and contact me right away.

Signed Terry the Pirate head Rat




I could swear this is true and facts and that the rats are planning to steal and challenge this 2002 election in Florida and California if they lose they will ask for recounts with all sorts of stories about democrat voters being so stupid they did not know it was a Republican they voted for and ending with the Supreme Court having to decide the outcome.

American Plan:

VOTE THE RATS BACK TO THE STONE-AGE

I have an aunt and uncle that moved to Florida. Me thinks they have rocks in their heads.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

You mean, you don't think, no way...that the demorats took the machines home and screwed with them!?!?!?!??! Wow, a corrupt demorat elections supervisor, imagine that.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

If they are not natives and are from the Northeast or Midwest, then odds are, yes, they have rocks in their head. Do not blame our state. Remember, we had 7 plus million Northeastern and Midwestern liberals move into our state over the last 20 years. We don't want them, they just showed up. Sort of like Herpes.

"I voted for McBride, but the machine counted it as Bush. It did this three times. "

So this person is admitting that he/she voted 3 times. PROSECUTE!!!!

Sounds like this is planned to embarrass Jeb Bush. The 'RATS will try to get this election in court again. Bums. Gosh the STate of Fla should step in and take over the elections in Broward and Dade counties. The 'RATS are actually too stupid and incompetent to oversee the elections. Lord no wonder they can't govern!

[floriduh voter]

Yeah, right. The machines are broken. They just want to vote twice, get everybody confused. The original vote was for McBride, they JUST WANT SECONDS. Is there an intel way to keep track of the sign-in book vs. the touch screens?

But, they forgot one thing, if they actually voted for Bush by mistake, how does the election supervisor divine which are real Bush votes and which are because "the machines are broken." I am sure the voters who said they were broken are ALL ROCKET SCIENTISTS.

JEB BUSH WINS unless we start allowing people to vote by having the poll workers read their minds. It's no different IMO.

[floriduh voter]

If we could send them to Gitmo, that'd be fine with me. Remember JIM BAKER? Since he's not the President's attorney this time, HE CAN SET UP A GREAT TEAM OF DECENT ATTORNEYS FOR GOVERNOR BUSH to fight the criminals.

[floriduh voter]

I think that possibly the precinct worker used the wrong term. I don't think they are allowed to reprogram the touch screens but they may be allowed to RE-SET it.

If it was reprogrammed, then what about the people who already voted? Do they get disenfranchised long after they've left the polls?

[floriduh voter]

Terry McRat was sitting side by side with Mark Racicot on MSNBC this afternoon. NO BLOOD WAS DRAWN.

[floriduh voter]

Wait until 2008 when we elect Governor John Ellis Bush the POTUS. They'll need major drugs and group therapy.

BUSH THREE-PEAT!!!!!

[Pearman]

LOL. People here in the West take a dim view of Floridians. Recently, I was in Laughlin Nevada playing a little "high stakes" Bingo in a rather crowded room. We were just a few minutes into a game when someone yelled "Bingo". The officials checked the card. The Bingo was no good. It turned out that the guy had marked numbers that had not been called. A man sitting across from me opined in a loud voice, "The guy must be from Florida!" The room erupted in laughter.

[GOPJ]

Optical scanners ARE NOT ATM machines. How hard is it to change a counting program?

This is really weird. I tried to vote for Bob Ehrlich for Governor in Maryland using a paper ballot and when I was finished it was marked as "BUSH."

Humming the theme from the Twilight Zone with tongue planted firmly in cheek (difficult to do but I am very talented).

[VRWC_minion]

If there was a deliberate program written to switch votes why would the programer show the switch on the screen ? It wouldn't make sense.
