“To say the least, I am absolutely appalled by ES&S’ delays, and the hardships ES&S has placed on this state,” said West Virginia SoS Ireland Friday afternoon. “It is inexcusable.” A glitch in some of the systems in some of the counties allows users of the company’s iVotronic machines to cast ballots and have their votes recorded correctly, but does not count the votes properly. Tomorrow begins a string of 28 primaries or primary run-offs in 23 states over the next two months. Why is it that the Financial Times, a UK media outlet, is reporting on what our national media is ignoring; the threat of mass confusion in our elections?…

      US MASS MEDIA BLACKOUTS ARE CAUSED BECAUSE THE MASS MEDIA IS OWNED BY THE CORPORATE ELITE AND CONTROLLED BY THE BUSHIT ADMINISTRATION. It might be a hard pill to swallow however once you get with the program you can look for a backup generator or BRADBLOG to power your spot light on on the dictatorship propaganda machine driving our CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.

      Exit polls were used in the Italian elections and were in accord with the official results.

      So Berlusconi resigned (link here).

      In the US where exit poll science is ignored, when the official results are off 8 million votes, the results are said to be due to "republicans being more shy than democrats".

      Yeah right.

      Yes,… I saw that,… it is like

      a smokescreen prosecution.

      Like the Nye election commission hearings

      where you bring in "experts" (repug operatives)

      who testify too many dead people are voting,..

      so we need a $40.00 voter id card,.. then we will

      have clean elections. But it is only a scam to

      disenfranchise low income voters who can not

      afford the expenditure of the voter id paperwork,..

      thus denied the opportunity to vote. A backdoor

      poll tax,.. the economically disadvantaged loose

      their access to a ballot,.. no big deal they would

      have likely voted demo anyways.

      What repug think tanks these ideas,.. mama

      bar bu$h,.. or is it jim baker the corporatist Nazi ?
