‘Daily Voting News’ For November 26, 2005

Share article:

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

In New York it seems like a majority of voices, including the MSM, have come out in favor of optical-scan voting machines. Unfortunately the vendors working the state have all made the decision that they will not sell optical-scan machines no matter who, including the county officials, wants to buy them. In New Jersey we have another case of stupidity as elections officials conduct a recount on DRE voting machines….

  • NAtional: Black Box Voting: No thanks for stuffing elections with machines LINK
  • CA: Secretary of State McPherson urges young people to vote LINK
  • FL: Volusia County – Volusia may get touch-screen voting machines LINK
  • MI: Wayne County – A Vexing Vote. Mayoral recount can offer lessons, nix gossip LINK
  • NJ: Trenton – County clerk vote recount set (DREs so it is a waste of time and money) LINK
  • NY: Lawmakers push to liberalize the absentee voting process LINK
  • NY: Otsego County – Dems urge choice of optical scanners LINK
  • TN: State buying new voting machines at crucial time LINK

      We can only go by the exit polls there, which said yes, by the current polls, which say yes, or by the neoCon babble.

      It is a simple question of who has lied and who is still lying.

      Have you figured that out yet?

      If memory serves me right, when dems ask for a recount the neoCons say "get over it" and talk about "sour grapes".

      What is it when repubs ask for a recount? In the NJ race linked above, that is the case:

      "DiCostanzo, the Republican incumbent who has served as the clerk for 10 years, trails Democratic newcomer Paula Sollami-Covello by 237 votes.

      On Election Day, Sollami-Covello received 46,872 votes to DiCostanzo’s 46,716, for a margin of 50 percent to 49.9 percent".

      It seems that the neoCon double standard, which the troll George Walker Bullshit (see post #3), knows no bounds.

      It reminds me of the commercial now appearing on TV, showing a pirate with a parrot on his shoulder, and the pirate being able to say only one thing to every question posed to him, "Argggggggg".

      The neoCon pirates say the same old tired rant over and over. "Stay the course" and "has Kerry won Ohio yet" is the apex of intellectual discourse they exhibit … which is the "Arggggg" principle.

      The white house seems to have taken this mantra as the sound it wants to be remembered by. Raw Story has a link (here).

      CSPAN’s Washington Journal has on at this time (sunday morning) the author of "Fooled Again". There was a recent thread on this blog dealing with the matter (link here).

      If this is MSM, then the stolen elections are getting MSM coverage.

      So that’s huge! The FOOLED AGAIN author on a network show! Does anybody have the video yet?

      Dredd: You beat me to the post of C-SPAN’S Washington Journal! Mark Crispin Miller does a great job. He is on the re-run at this moment). He was attacked by Texan who was reading talking points, etc. He did a great job of glancing the blows right back at him.

      He is followed by a great guest from the Weekly Standard, reporter Matthew Continetti, who explained Abramoff, Delay et al connections.

      And, before you get upset that I mentioned Bill Kristol’s magazine, watch Matthew Continetti’s segment. Is it possible that Continetti is a "turncoat" against PNAC? He was heavily attacked by Republican-type callers, as well.

      Or, since the complete reversal of the news, is being done — ????
