‘Daily Voting News’ For May 4, 2007

Share article:

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

Voters in Randolph Co Indiana are being asked to vote on a system made by now defunct Voting Technologies International; the same system that has failed in the last two elections and that failed in pre-election day set-up. Meanwhile an election this week in Scotland has been a disaster. High-speed ballot scanners failed, hundreds of thousands of ballots were spoiled, and postal ballot delays all added up to one huge mess. Also a new judge’s ruling in Alameda Co, more from Florida and a fun deposition taken from Linda Lamone in Maryland….

      BOTH parties in thsi transaction need to do 20 years.

      MY FUCKING VOTE IS SACRED ASSWWIPE…AS IS MY REGISTRATION INFORMATION.

      Fucking Arrogant pricks…..death is TOO convenient. I want 10 minutes in a room with BOTH sides of this transaction.

      The people voted 28% approval (72% disapproval) of preznit blush:

      Bush Hits All-Time Low – George W. Bush has the lowest presidential approval rating in a generation, and the leading Dems beat every major ’08 Republican. Coincidence?

      (Raw Story, emphasis added). In the recent debates the republicans all proclaimed their love for preznit blush’s war. They do not have a clue if this poll confuses them.

      Adam Fulford:

      Who won the Rocky vs Hannity debate? Well if you can win a debate where the subject is impeaching the president and you don’t even touch on that subject, I guess you might go way out there and make the case that Hannity won, but I sure as hell wouldn’t.

      Heres another place to see the debate, but you might need version 7.1.6 of Quicktime at least to see the dial-up version.
