Look at this comment from the Ga link above and multiply that by...who knows what

i voted outside of atlanta in duluth, around 12:30pm. fortunately, there was no line. unfortunately, i was told i had already voted, and for the republican primary as opposed to the democratic which i had intended to... someone clearly messed something up.

after a few minutes i was given a card to go and vote - don't know if it went under my name or not, and i'm left to assume and hope that my vote counted.

Chaos by design ?

How about this scenario ?

Lets take 10%+ of the voters from a certain state/precinct and automatically vote for them Republican/dLC/whatever.
If they actually show up to vote, then we have to find another that didn't to take its place (or not).
Then the rolls match the number of registered voters.
Do you think that the person who is registered to vote but didn't is going to go check to see if they voted or not ? ...hmmm, the game is afoot

also, if they use different methods (known or not) to actually keep people from voting, they could use their registration and vote them electronically however they want ?

I wonder how many people that are registered to vote, but had to vote provisionally, have ever went back and found out if their vote had counted, or if the prov ballot had been thrown away because the register said that they had already voted ?

Is this fucked-up or am I being Mister Obvious here?

...and another thing

if you were going to pull this off, you could wait for the midnight counting session/terrorist threat, and go through the rolls and actually see who didn't vote and make your selection for them ?

Floridiot #4, I want to find this out as well, in my county.

Floridiot #5, this scenarion is the reason for continued security procedures involving unused ballots and the polling place roster. In my county, voters must sign (official signature) a book that corresponds with the roster, and I would like to find out if there is any routine checking of these signatures for forgery.

Check out this horribly deficient commentary in MotherJones re why Clinton won in CA, and then consider responding in their comment section, as I did:
http://www.motherjones.c...147_how_clinton_won.html

The Clinton Campaign says there are no voting problems in Los Angeles County:

In a note to the press, Hillary Clinton's campaign says: "False reports about voting problems in LA are being drudged up --- Everything is going smoothly in LA."
http://machinist.salon.c.../05/la_voting/index.html

We must all be imagining the problems.

How about this scenario:

ROMNEY DROPS OUT

Obama/Clinton

v
"100 Years More of Iraq War Plus More Wars" McCain

We know where the people are on this, and where the neoCons are on this, so, a thrown election will be obvious, will it not?

How the heck would the Clinton campaign know of any voting problems in LA?! Are its campaign members participating in the voting/vote counting? Are they heading up investigations into reports of problems? The Clinton campaign has nothing to do with the voting process in LA or anywhere else! This announcement provides even more evidence that she is nothing more than a Republican running on the Democratic ticket.

Tsunami Thursday:

Conservative talker Rush Limbaugh had an unorthodox solution to Mitt Romney's departure from the Republican race; he's thinking about raising money for Hillary Clinton.

(Raw Story). Ann Coulter is doing the same.

Can anyone say DESPERADOS ???

Yeah Dredd #11, they're just worried if Clinton doesn't get the nod, all they will be able to talk about is that "Silly Negro" or some shiot like that, might put them out of business.

Linda, With the new electronic pollbooks and the swipe of an ID, they could repeat the registered voters vote ID if he voted the last election but didn't vote the next one.
I guess what I'm saying is if any person is registered to vote but doesn't, runs the risk of having their vote stolen electronically.

The more registered voters that stay home the easier it is for the fiends to use them to game the system.

Remember it only has to be around 10%

Why is it that I also read here somewhere that the old registered voters in New Mexico(?), instead of being thrown off the rolls were re-slotted as indys ? is that right ?
If that's the case it would make it even easier to use them for this same purpose in partisan battles.
Why didn't they just leave them in the party they were originally registered to ? hmm?

Somesing is rrrotten here

...I forgot to add in my above theory, anyone who has access to the state main frame can pull this off

Shit, as far as the card swipe goes, they wouldn't even need the initial swipe for the info on the strip on the ID card...IT"S ALREADY ON FILE FOR COMPARISON !!!

Re: "if any person is registered to vote but doesn't, runs the risk of having their vote stolen electronically."

This possibility is not restricted to being done electronically. This is why it's absolutely essential that the following security protocols are followed by poll workers:

(1) Unused ballots must be accounted for and sealed up after the polls close and before they are transported back to wherever it is they go. In my county, precinct officers are required to drop into a U.S. mailbox after leaving the polls a document signed by all poll workers that contains, among other things, an accounting for all unused ballots, that is then sent to the ROV for verification.

(2) The polling place roster, which shows who voted and who didn't, is logged onto more than one document to be sent to the ROV, accounting for the numbers of people who voted regularly, provisionally, and by mail-in.

There should be, and I'm sure there are, procedures for doing this electronically. I've just never come across this personally, since no one has voted on the one disabled access machine available at my precinct for either of the two elections I worked. All of my numbers to enter so far for these machines are big fat zeroes.

Re: "Why didn't they just leave them in the party they were originally registered to ? hmm?"

Does anyone here know what the regulations/laws are concerning this? Or where to go to find them out? Are these laws/regulations at the state or local level? These would be laws/regulations governing the handling of registered voters' voting status.
