Even R. Doug Lewis, executive director of the Election Center, an association of election officials realizes the November election is going to be a problem. “We’ve made some valiant attempts … (but) there are going to be some problems. Things could be just a little bit ugly this time.” Meanwhile the EAC still has their heads buried deep in the sand. Paul DeGregorio, chairman of the federal Election Assistance Commission, said he doesn’t believe “it’s necessarily going to be chaos out there. We will see mistakes made just as we’ve seen in other elections, but because of close contests … these problems will be magnified. People will wonder about all those reforms since 2000.” DeGregorio is still preparing to blame all problems on election workers and the voters. / A lack of enough poll workers seems to be one of the big problems for this coming election. Everyone should be encouraged to volunteer for the day….

Why would anyone want to be a poll worker ? They get the blame everytime ! The machines have harmless “glitches”… naturally they were caused by the workers too !
Paul DeGregorio is a big knob IMO, not much faith in R Doug Lewis either, the junk computer parts salesman
But I’ll give R Doug SOME credit for not towing the Diebold line for the moment, I guess…but I don’t expect that to last very long
Get Ready for Another Stolen Election
Polls showing a Democratic landslide assume a fraud-free election.
Will the GOP steal the election again?
Does Diebold switch votes?
Can there be any doubt?
The Repugs have stolen the last three elections.
It’s the only way they can win.
Bush and Cheney are confident that they will retain the House and Senate.
Why?
They have the means:
The DREs are certified to be hacked.
They have the motive:
They fear Democratic investigations into 9/11, Iraq,
torture, warrantless spying, the outing of Valerie Plame, etc….
They have the opportunity:
The Dems who could have done something are still drinking DLC kool-aid.
Here is the trend in Generic House of Representative Congressional polls over the past 12 months:

Thanks for the maddening poll. It’s good to be reminded of the truth, even if it’s hard!
