“One elections manager told the Board that it takes 3 or 4 elections before there are no longer any problems.”
Did he/she mean that after the bush administration is gone the machines will work just fine. 🙂
3 or 4 elections and the electronic voting computer machines will then be bug free and functioning properly ? Maybe ?
By then Fascism will be so entrenched and established in our government – Democracy will be an unknown commodity,.. and we will no longer have a need for elections.
We will only have need for a dictator or despot. Or would we be better off with a monarch,.. a throne,.. and a royal crown ? Freedom and justice by decree of,.. and whims of a king.
The only thing we can hope for now is with enough people aware of the “hack”, thanks to Brad and everyone, that somebody catches Cheney and his cohorts with their hands in the cookie jar, so to speak
Let’s see who’s next in 08 to be inducted in the “election thieves Hall of Hacks”….’twas Katherine Harris in 2000; Ken Blackwell/Diebold in 2004; and no doubt someone’s being primed for 08 by the corrupt, predator protecting GOP. Hell, if they choose predators over the safety of our children, stooping so low as to rig an election is “child’d play” for these depraved individuals. It can now be inferred from Predator-Gate that the sky’s the limit for this GOP!
IF THEY CAN’T PROTECT OUR CHILDREN, HOW CAN THEY PROTECT OUR NATIONAL SECURITY????????
HELP BRAD ! This is day four of getting Default Plesk Page when I try to get to your site. Today I went to google, and got in. WHAT IS GOING ON ? Not the first time I got this page for Brads. (and no other site)
You must register to vote OR absentee ballot by Tuesday Nov. 10 (at least in Pa.). Brad, you should start advertizing things like this. People who come to this site are interested in voting…Nov. 10 might slip by those who aren’t up on it…….
SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY
