A majority of the news is still coming from three states. Vote-by-mail is being discussed in CA and counties are making announcements of their decisions for voting machines in NC and PA. In the meantime, GA’s Senate passed the VoterID bill with a few differences from what they got from the House so the bill goes back. It’s still regressive….

I am so glad that the fight to vote is moving forward. I personally vote adsentee ballot and wish everyone would and could.
OFF TOPIC…..did anyone see O’Reilly tonight?
The bastard was crowing about how Air America was going broke and seeing its last days.
He was smiling and interviewed a so called reporter about some federal investigation in a new york charity giving them money.
I felt like throwing up……how about we all pledge to help Air America stay on and boycott all O
‘Reily sponsers,
help…what can we do????
Boycotts and anarchy are already in progress, I mean, I’ll tell you what.
I’ve been fighting this situation non-stop and I think we may have found just the solution!!!!
It’s going to take alot of pulling together and getting forceful, but this system may just work it out.

Brad i need an email to contact you about election fraud my telephone number is 561 210 7042
oh….. BEEEEEEEV!!!!!
"They’re baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack…."
The New Election Center: Election Tech Institute…
Neocons attempting to get you to vote with their fraudulent gamed system, one principality at a time…..
"Although electronic voting systems
can solve this problem, widespread propaganda from a vocal minority is raising doubts
about modern technology’s place in the voting booth. The ETC exists to help election officials,
lawmakers, policy analysts, the media and the voters separate myths from reality on this important issue."
I wonder….another think-tank funded by pacific research institute and friends again? :laugh:

Maybe not a good idea to post your phone number here … unless you have a multi-plexer …
RE: Voting
The neoCons have been spouting off how their view of "democracy" if forced on a few nations would bring peace to the world because peace and "democracy" go together.
However, the neoCon view of democracy is about as valid as Hamas’ view of democracy. Hamas has now won the election in Palestine (link here).
Thus, terrorists can have democracy of the kind the neoCons envision. Their vision is blind.
What I have pointed out ad nauseum here is that voting and elections in and of themselves are mere hollow endeavors.
The American concept of democracy, instead of the neoCon concept of democracy, is the one to follow.
It requires a constitution of basic rights which are never voted on because they are permanent and the apply to everyone, especially to limit what the government can and can not do.
The Bill of Rights is the prime example of a good democracy, as is the rest of the US Constitution.
Terrorists can have democracy, but it is no better than the democracy the neoCons envision.
Before you folks get excited about vote by mail, you really need to see the new lead story at Black Box Voting.
And it’s just the tip of the iceberg, both for Jeffrey Dean and for vote by mail.
